This needs to be common knowledge please never forget it and educate others:

The answer sucks but it is the truth: how long it can take alcohol to contribute to someone’s death is different for everyone. Don’t count on it taking years especially for females. My sister counted on that to give her time to stop but unknowingly different body conditions you have naturally or other things in your system can change that. She only had it continually for 3 years at most and mostly just seltzers. She just passed from liver failure at only 26 years old 2 weeks ago especially hitting her in just 3 months time since before the doctors said her liver was damaged but not scarred then straight to this. My whole family and all her friends are in shock & heartbroken especially my parents of course. I worry so deeply for their healths and how our life can go on “normally” now. Loved ones can become suicidal or lose their will at pursuing the best life, even go into alcoholism or other vices themselves, because of grief. PLEASE REMEMBER WHATEVER HAPPENS TO YOU WILL NOT ONLY AFFECT YOU. It’s a really horrible thing to endure not only for them but ALL their loved ones it’s been the worst month & a half of my life that will take so much therapy for me to even manage the PTSD I’m sure I now have. ‼️ LIVER PROBLEMS ARE NOT ONLY CAUSED BY ALCOHOL SO EVEN A LITTLE CASUAL ALCOHOL—-never forget it’s poison no matter the amount might want to consider would you even try just a little rat poison or avoid it completely; it’s not about shaming those who do it is unfortunately normal in our culture and yes I have casually myself too but those images of her basically looking like a corpse still alive have made me avoid it at any cost I can esp since there are even non-alcohol whiskey, etc options if it’s the taste/comfort you want—CAN PUSH IT OVER THE EDGE BUT OTHER CAUSES MAY HAVE MEDICINE TO HELP IF IT DOES HAVE A PROBLEM ‼️Figure out what you like from drinking and find it in other HEALTHY options which I promise you there are. Ex: I really wish my sister went to running for those highs like she used to before it took everything she loved from her and us. PLEASE go to the doctor and check your liver asap even if you only drink a little you need to catch it in the beginning then NEED PROFESSIONAL help — trust me that Dr apt anxiety is so much better than what happens if you don’t just face it. PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ANY RISK OF YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONES HAVING TO GO THROUGH THAT MISERY IT IS THE WORST THING EVER WITH SO MANY UNKNOWNS. Face the fears of accepting, etc it’s worth it and life-saving. And remember that if you withdraw under professional care you will not be risking nearly the chance of something going wrong not withdrawing at all will have!!!! Doctors not stressing that could be risking lives especially with how addict minds understand what’s said to them differently. Please do it for your loved ones & the fact that too many people need liver transplants with short supply at least.
