So sorry to hear your liver is doing that. Is that the only trouble it's causing though? I mean, you don't have to have surgery or something do you?

Are we all thinking about him? I missed the memo. lol?

On a more constructive note: If your enzymes are high there are supplements you can take to lower them.

Calcium d-glucarate will lower liver enzymes in people that are ill with things as serious as hepatitis-C.

600 mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid a day will protect the liver . . . 1000mg is used in germany to regenerate the liver.

NAC (n-acetyl cysteine) before you drink will protect your liver as well as preventing a conventional hang over.

TMG (Tri methyl glycine) has good results protecting the liver also.

I know a few people that were sick with high liver enzymes that had them drop in half from calcium d-glucarate.

Hopefully no surgery, but drinking can cause more problems than its worth, even a little bit. Thanks for the support guys.
