Some people have a habit of using alcohol whenever they feel pain.
Alcohol acts like sugar, it gives the person a pick up, making them feel good, before they crash down on the other side.

If you've spent years using the bottle whenever you feel bad, its easy to understand why people would want to drink when they feel so horrible.
It isn't good for their health but that's my understanding about why they do this.

Why bother to treat if you're drinking?

You're just causing yourself problems you don't need.

You have got to know what you're doing is not a workable plan.

Can you share some of your other numbers besides 0.

Your other post says you are taking interferon and riba. You should absolutely not mix alcohol with these meds.

The reason we do hep C treatment is to save your liver from cirrhosis which can kill.
I almost died from this virus. If you are drinking, you are not eligible for a liver transplant.

If you have trouble staying sober, please seek help for your alcoholism.
Interferon and alcohol is a toxic combination.

What is an Incivek reading of 0??

what happens if you drink alcohol after having finishing incevek
-------------------------------------
Depends....The liver works very hard to breakdown alcohol  which can be injurious to a liver already compromised by HCV , also if you drink too much you may get drunk  and therfore forget to take all your medications ..hence subvert your tx. regime.

Other than that ..really not much of anything......

Best...
