A member asked:
I've been drinkin for years but haven't touched any now for nearly 1 week , would alcohol still be in my liver ? thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Damage Present: The damage would be present but the alcohol would have been metabolized by now. A blood test could tell you and your doctor how much damage is present and how long for your liver to recover so you should see your md. Congratulations on stopping the use of alcohol.
