Drinking may be affecting liver at 26. Am I really abnormal with my drinking?
I’m 26F and I have recently had a blood test. Everything normal except my liver results were high. I wasn’t super shocked I guess since I DO drink but I definitely was not expecting it to be affecting me at my age and I am thin and generally a pretty healthy person.
I used to drink a lot when I was younger. Started at 15-16 and would party on the weekends, a lot more once I was in college but around mid 20s I probably average about 9-10 drinks a week, more or less depending, mostly just drinking on the weekends with friends or having a glass of wine after work sometimes. I never really drink to get drunk and very rarely get out of control.
I’m going to get tested again to make sure it wasn’t a fluke, but am I really drinking so much that I could cause liver damage at the age of 26? I thought it was normal amount of drinking for my age but perhaps not…
I love my drinks, it’s one of my favorite passtimes, so hoping I don’t have to give it up.
Has anyone else experienced this?
