A member asked:
If one is in college and has been binge drinking on/off over the past 3 years, will body repair any damage if drinking stops now?

Probably: This depends upon what damage you are thinking of. For the most part, the human body is amazingly resilient and repairs damage.

Yes!: Our bodies are designed to move toward balance and health--when we get out of the way. Your liver and other organs will thank you, so will your loved ones. I've seen many families destroyed by overuse of alcohol. Glad you won't be one of them.
