Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
Someone asked this here recently. Here is a some very good advice from Nicole Cutler L.Ac.
Take a look and decide for yourself. For me I keep in mind many people do not drink for various reasons, not just liver health.

After surviving the diagnosis, illness and treatment for Hepatitis C, those who are cured of this illness may once again be faced with a decision to drink alcohol.

But no I don't it makes me trow up after 2. Yesterday we broke MANY records but us as a nation it was the hottest day sence 1880.
True Seen on CNN A bear was found swimming in someones pool. LOL
I still believe that those who have moderately healthy livers, and do not drink excessively will most likely not die of liver failure if they have an occasional beer.
I don't drink because I'm an alcoholic and even if I wasn't, I have stage 3-4 fibrosis.
But lots of folks continue to eat cheeseburgers, pizza and potato chips even though they have a history of heart disease in their families. It's your choice, and we all die in the end anyway.
