A member asked:

I've got liver pain for past 10mths. 3 lfts normal with ct and us. does this mean my liver is healthy? v heavy drinker for 1 yr. 23yo. thx

Probably ok: Your liver is probably fine, but excessive drinking if alcohol is not good, and can lead to permanent and progressive liver damage. Some alcohol is ok, but don't overdo it. Hope this helps!
