It's only since I did lots of research that I am now worried I've done damage to my liver during my 20s

I've never done spirits, just beer between 4 and 5%. I would regularly drink 4 pints most days in my 20s. I never "needed" it, just seemed to fall into the routine. To us it was always social. Medically it's alcoholism.

Now in pushing 30, I genuinely worry about what it's done to my liver. I know it's robust and can regenerate itself, but how much do you have to go before its irreversible?

For the last couple of months I've cut right down, don't miss it much ...

Most likely you will be fine. Unless you have any specific symptoms, I wouldn't worry.

My only health issue is feeling shattered, but that's a screwed body clock due to ridiculous stressful shifts!

Still, I recognise now is the time to tone it down :y

Whatever you say, Prof. Knowitallandwontlistentoanyoneelse. Perhaps not using a winter tyre also is harmful to the liver?
