    Congratulations! My wife drinks a ton and has since high school. I make her get blood work done regularly and the worst that happens is inflamed liver.

    She drinks like 3 of those boxes Costco wines a week so at least 2 bottles a day. Sometimes liquor on weekends. She just turned 40

      If I were you I’d try to switch off to smoking weed instead. Much healthier, no hangovers, no adverse side effects, and so much cheaper! A chronically inflamed liver leads to some bad things, and dying from it is not pretty or gentle

        Not a chronic weed smoker, but how does weed help? Does it fulfill the same need?

        And isn’t this just trading lung health instead (and throat health, though I imagine alcohol isn’t great for your throat either)

        I don’t drink more than twice a month. I do have an addiction to sparkling water however.

        Maybe I can get my wife to switch though, I’ll try! Thanks for heads up.
