A member asked:
My ex is daily drinker. he had borderline liver test where he was losing some of his liver usage. what test will show alcohol use chronic?

Drinking that: interferes w/work, marriage, relationships, etc. is a problem that needs to be managed. Some say "it's only beer" or "it's only on weeks ends." This clinical way of measuring drinking problems is more useful than ounces and type of drink. Peace and good health. The borderline liver function tests adds to the need to deal w/this. AA is a good start.
