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.

Lol Ozzie. Give and take agreed. It is the social lubricant for sure but don't use it as a real lubricant and I can't believe the kids were doing alcohol enemas.

But yes let's not also forget the broken promises, drunken sloppy sex, hangovers, feeling good, its anesthetic properties, the good times, the bad times, the things you regret that you said, the anxieties and insecurities that it can loosen up and the myriad ways it can be served up and presented and just how friggin' tasty it is. Many sober people tell me how their social lives took a big hit without alcohol and they miss that as it's so focal to much of what we do. Agreed. Too bad it's also so addictive for many. I had a pear mimosa at brunch but stopped at one. Self control is awesome.

eeewww - the general look of the liver is kind of nasty. You would think that 'alcohol' would clean the liver like it cleans dirt outside of our bodies. Too bad for moi - blah....

My toast to you all:

Down the lips and past the throat,
Here's to hoping you don't wake up with a goat!

I drank to that toast first in 1987.

Even the healthy liver looked disgusting.

Does anyone else think that Dr. Drew is hot? We did a survey at work a few months ago. Who is the hottest- Dr. Drew or Dr. Oz? I don't remember, but I think Dr. Oz won.
