Booze

Ok...for the gajillionth time.

Is booze always off limits after successful treatment?  Last year there was a woman here named "BritGirl" who moved to Brazil and was looking forward to having an occasional glass of red.

Today I read about a person with SVR who rotted out their liver.

My doc has told me that because I have mild damage and no inflammation that a beer or glass of wine now and then is fine (ever without SVR).

I'm sure that anyone with a healthy liver can drink it into oblivion over a course of time.

Can anyone point to a study that gives data about HCV patients drinking modest amounts; both SVR and non-SVR.

Someday I'd really like to have the occasional glass of wine with dinner and/or social settings.

OK...I have braced myself for the wrath of Revenire, etc.

I'm hoping to be normal again someday.

Mike

Forseemyselfinhowater! I laughed out loud when I saw that. You've got a point there, put a hat over it and no one will notice it tho.

Howater sounds like more fun, just a freudian slip when I get around you.

but, I can't just deny that I worry about the folks here and must peek in once in a while! how are you doing?  It does take a lot of your time to read through all the threads, so you just have to step away.  Plus, I just became a grandma of finches back in Xmas and I spend more time watching them and the parents and awwwing about the wonder of life...

I was just wondering where you are.  Viola, you just appeared.

Hope you had a great time away from the computer.

I see some things have not changed, no matter how long I am away!

I am dismounting the dead horse, actually, I dismounted a while back.  Call the ASPCA, they might have better answers.
