Whether an individual is heathy, some-what healthy or has liver disease - alcohol still destroys liver cells. One would argue that they did not seem affected when they had liver disease prior to the actual dx, and probably rightly so. Alcohol still destroys liver cells. Yes, even the the most healthiest person.....however, healthy livers are able to regenerate liver cells and it happens to the point that 'normal healthy livers' and the person who it belongs too, just doesn't notice anything - except for the occassional hang over.

For compromised livers, alcohol still destroys liver cells, but since it is a compromised liver that has a disease that is also destroying liver cells...you, generally speaking, or should I say ME, would not 2 forces gobbling up my good liver cells.

Having said all that.....if I was told I was and end-stage and I should just enjoy my remaining time.....(if I were a drinker), I would certainly add that back to my lifestyle.

Because my parents did not want guys taking advantage of me when I started dating, they made me start drinking at home when I was 16...their theory was that I would build up a tolerance and it would be harder for a guy to get me drunk and take advantage...........

It is probably because of that, that I developed a distaste for alcohol of any kind, not even mouthwash. I am fortunate now that I think about it because I am not faced with 'wanting to drink' and "being told I can't drink", but truth is, if I were told to go enjoy my life, I might toast once with a bubbly!
