I am a 35 year old male in pretty good shape. I workout approx 4 times per week minimum. I was a collegiate football athlete I might add. I drink three to four times a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I usually drink Chardonay, but will turn to scotch occasionally. In a night of drinking I will have about two bottles of wine. If it's scoth I could easily polish off a half pint or pint. Recently, I have started to have a dry mouth and my lips crack/chap and split at the corners. My bottum lip close to the corners is looking dark and not like the normal pink. Sometimes when working out I get a heat rash. In the last 3 weeks I've gained about 10 lbs. I must admit my diet has slacked some. Do I have liver diesease? Is this a result of the alcohol? About two years ago I had some test done and was told that I had an excess enzyme consistant with mono or something. After that I quite drinking for a year. I started drinking again a year ago picking up where I left off two years ago. Lastly, I take all sorts of vitamins everyday, (C, B Complex, Multi, 2k mg Omeg 3, green tea, zinc, lutein, milk thistle, ginko biloba, glucosamine, st john's wart. Think thats it... And when I drink, I smoke. I chew tobacco regulary.
Thanks!
