INH hepatitis: Isoniazid (inh) can cause liver damage, and so can alcohol. Drinking alcohol increases the risk of inh hepatitis.

Unlikely: The blood in your mouth is more likely from gingivitis and you should see a dentist. You ought lose weight to prevent the liver from going from being fatty to cirrhotic.
