A member asked:

My liver has returned to normal after an episode of alcoholic hepatitis.. normal bloods, no fibrosis. is it safe to drink moderately? thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Alcoholic hepatitis : You have an addiction to alcohol. Unless you accept that you are unable to control your urge to stop drinking and ask for help you will continue to damage your liver. It may be difficult to accept this as truth because it's natural that our ego believes all is good with us. You have a decision to make.
