Alcohol excess: Yes. 12-13 pegs of whiskey daily is excessive. It also apparently affects one's ability to spell! and yes it places you at risk for many consequences - both short and long term.

Pag: I understanf a pag to be somewhere between 30-50cc (about 1 shot). You clearly are drinking an excessive amount of alcohol and i would suggest that you get help immediately. You certainly can cause liver failure, cancer is a little more grey area. Hope this helps.

Liver cirrhosis can also turn into cancer especially if you have other conditions such as hepatitis b or c or HIV and alcohol abuse. It also affects all your other organs, such as brain, heart, vessels, eyes, nerves, sex organs, et.
