Question 1

can you drink beer if you have fatty liver?

Accepted Answer

Fatty liver: It depends on how bad your liver is. An eval would be necessary and futher advice can be given. See a gastroenterologist.

Question 2

i was diagnosed with fatty liver. is drinking non-alcoholic beer now okay?

Accepted Answer

Calories !: Fatty liver is incredibly common, predominantly due to: high alcohol intake, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity. The more of these risks you have, the greater the chance of fatty liver. Addressing these risks is an important step to correcting fatty liver. Distinguish hepatosteatosis (fatty liver) from steatohepatitis (fatty liver with abnormal liver tests that risks cirrhosis &amp; liver cancer).

Question 3

after alcoholic fatty liver reverses, is drinking actually dangerous? i don't see myself never having beers with the guys or wine with my wife.

Accepted Answer

Potentially yes: Drinking leads to fatty liver, which is reversible once you stop drinking, if there is no scarring already. For you to know if there is scarring in the liver you would need a liver biopsy. Alcoholic fatty liver can then turn into cirrhosis, which is non-reversible. You can probably get away with a drink every now and then, but nothing on a daily / regular basis.

Question 4

is it possible to have alcoholic fatty liver at age of 19, drinking since 2 years large amounts (4 liters of beer/0.3-0.5l of vodka) once a week?

Accepted Answer

Watch for cirrhosis: Alcoholic hepatitis would be more the concern. Your liver is an amazing organ in that it has the ability to regenerate. However, organs have finite reserves and once you have cirrhosis, there are too many complications to mention. Seek help such as aa or tell a friend. Otherwise life will be short and full of medical complications at a young age.

Question 5

is it possible for me to drink near beers with a fatty liver?

Accepted Answer

Go ahead: The fact that you're willing to drink only minimally-alcoholic drinks tells me that you're not a problem drinker and that your fatty liver may have a different cause. I trust hepatitis c and wilson's have been ruled out. The most common cause of fatty liver nowadays is lack of sufficient exercise for your body's genetic need. Why drink near-beer when you could be hitting the gym like a maniac?

Question 6

drinking lots since beating lymphoma. fatty liver that showed most recent ct. was it caught early? can i reverse it by reverting to light drinking? a few beers a week dangerous now? going to cuba...

Accepted Answer

Trying to Die: I am sorry, but treating your body with such disrespect is just not acceptable. Even without the alcohol you are at risk of liver failure with 'fatty' liver'.  Drinking heavily can only work against your health and your chance to survive.  Please go to an alcohol treatment center today. Please stop drinking today. Please get help in real time today.

Question 7

when can i drink beer again after a lacerated liver?

Accepted Answer

Healing needed: Your liver (and probably you) have been through a major trauma.  Your liver specifically needs to heal, and will show enzyme abnormalities for some time.  Alcohol is a toxin to your liver.  Your  own doctors -- who know your case, how your liver got injured, and the unique factors that can slow or speed your personal healing -- are the best ones to answer any questions about ingesting alcohol.

Question 8

so no i don't take tylonal regularly  but accidently took 1650 mg over a three hour period. and as far as i know my liver is ok i do sometimes drink beer but on the day this happened i had not had a drink in 48 hours will i be ok?

Accepted Answer

Tylenol: You should be fine. Acetaminophen toxicity would involve a much higher dose. Be careful moving forward and stick to the recommended dosages to avoid any untoward issues.

Question 9

i used ast/alt calculator and my number is 1.6 i drink beer everyday ast range is 11-38 on my lab mine is 34 normal alt 21 normal range is 10-47.both numbers are normal and all other liver numbers normal and also ggt is normal.iworry i have cirrhosis?

Accepted Answer

: Not likely  But   may still develop it with continued alcohol use. Consider discussing with  your doctor alcohol cessation / modification programs  Note  Tylenol is also a liver toxin and  should be taken very  cautiously  or avoided when there is alcohol use. Ask your doctor about other meds that interact w/ alcohol
