POST treatment alcohol facts?

Does anyone have reference to any studies done on POST treatment alcohol consumption or know anyone who consumed alcohol POST treatment who had only stage 1 slight liver damage? I'm NOT refering to someone with active Hep C or major liver damage. I'm also aware that too much alcohol is not a good thing. I know what opinions people have, I'm looking for facts or personal experiences. Once TX is over either the HCV is gone (cured) or it's not, is that not correct? If any of the virus is left hidden to cause a relapse is there any evidence of alcohol being the cause of the relapse or just cause it faster? Thanks in advance.

This came from the site you posted.

"In the United States, chronic HCV infection accounts for 8,000 to 10,000 related deaths annually.

“Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Such As Aspirin 7,600”

So I am supposed to believe, almost as many people die from aspirin as they do from HCV?

They must have been stoned.

I wonder how they define a death caused by poor diet and physical inactivity.  I would think that poor diet and physical inactivity would contribute to many of the more direct causes of death; but how do they quantify it in order to actually attribute a death to it?
