How can I quit drinking without abstaining from alcohol?
Let me explain what alcohol can do to the liver: If you know that the liver takes toxins from the body and converts them into a non toxic form that the body can dispose of…then you will understand this. 1) The liver takes alcohol, and using the liver enzymes the liver cells makes, converts it first into acetaldehyde then acetate and then carbon dioxide and water. [This is just general as there are many more steps to this than just three.] When someone consumes alcohol fast, it doesn’t give the liver time to convert the alcohol and it becomes toxic to the liver cells then and damages them. 2) Alcohol consumed over long time periods is just as bad. This builds up fats inside the liver that adds to pressure inside the liver. It also causes liver cell damage. 3) Some people are more sensitive to alcohol or have an allergic reaction to it…just like any other medication does. 4) Taking alcohol with meds can cause an interaction to happen between the two and cause instant liver cell damag
