Used to drink a bit. now concerned about liver desease? scared of side effects?

Check liver function: It usually takes a fair amount of alcohol exposure to get liver disease. I think it depends on what you mean by "a bit". It is easy to get your liver checked by checking a liver function test so see your dr. And share your concerns.
