A member asked:
How quickly after binge drinking would an ultrasound show changes to the liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may take just a couple months of binge drinking for liver damage (alcoholic liver disease which can be identified by liver ultrasound) rather than years of regular heavy drinking.
