High likelihood of alcoholic hepatitis. Very likely addicted to alcohol (individuals often don’t realize). You DEFINITELY need addiction counseling as well as a Gastroenterologist evaluation to successfully recover

Agree with Dr Lentnek, as your consumption of vodka is indeed impressive, especially over a 7 year period of time. Contact your doctor regarding possible liver issues, as this is indeed crucial. Stop consumption of alcohol, and would work closely with your doctor to mitigate withdrawal issues. Contact your local AA, and become fully involved in their programs. Get proactive, ASAP.
