Partially: Yes, you should avoid alcohol, as the risk of leading to further liver damage is great. Tylenol (acetaminophen) would be a good idea to keep fairly limited, probably up to only 2 grams total a day (this is mainly the restriction for cirrhotic patients, but not knowing where in the disease you are, it is better to be safe than sorry). You should get tested by your doctor to see how much damage is present.
