Usually takes weeks: It takes 6-8 weeks for the liver to heal from the binge drinking before it will start addressing the fatty liver accumulation. Sometimes medication is also needed , but it depends on liver function

Fatty liver: If you can stay away from alcohol and change your diet, especially steer clear of fructose the liver can recover. May take months, possibly years. I have found the following helpful: low glycemic diet, glyconutrients, food allegy testing (leads to best diet). www.thedocstu.com http://mtex.it/jt3n7lm8
