as regards drinking achool makes more danger to the liver than hbv virus bacause it is highly toxic to the liver, secondly it lowers immune system.
a recent study on drugs and alcool: alcholl makes more damage than crack......if you were to choose between cocaine or alcool cocaine is much more healthier......in case you also carry hbv you can amplify results of this study

in any case acool takes you closer to death if you carry hbv and liver damage, i bet you even don t know your liver damage

in germany they have a free bus with a fibroscan turning around healthy population because people think they are healthy so they are able to find all the damaged livers from alcool and fat

as to smoking we know it kills healthy people.........

hbv carriers with no liver damage are at risk of liver damage (the more liver damage the more liver cancer), smooking promotes cancer
hbv,40yo, liver fibrosis, active replication, precore/bcp mutants 90% liver cancer so just add +acool+smoking, where will 90% go?so why you ask?

well as you know liver cancer is very close to a death sentence you can only survive but rarely very long time by transplant/resection because it comes back very often
another scarry thing is transplant and resection can be done only when detected very small by ultrasound checks every 6 months, once grown too big (and cancer in the liver grows superfast) there are no options left to avoid death

this is reality, that's why hbvdna und is very important since we dont know who's gonna get liver cancer

think it also this way, alcool and smoke are just like drugs and they kill you anyway hbv free or with hbv, why to give money to these bastards who are legalized to kill you?

i wish you have the guts to throw away that sh**, i have seen all my friends quiting sooner or later when they started to see other friends or family members dying of cancer
