Can you fuck your liver up even after mild alcohol consumption? I never drink but this week I decided to have a go with a glass or two of wine every dayonly abstaining for the day I had to take ibuprofen (600mg) for my lower back pain, and another day for a single lorazepam pill for anxiety.Yesterday I felt a dull painful ache for a few hours under the right side of my abdomen where the liver is and I'm afraid I may have fucked my liver up by not waiting longer between the time I had the alcohol and the pills.
>>34640974Ibuprofen can fuck up your stomach or kidneys, but it won't affect your liver. (Paracetamol/Acetaminophen/Tylenol does). The liver is usually pretty resilient; while no amount of alcohol is harmless, if that's the only thing going on here, I think you'll be fine. This is not to say that there may not be something else going on - not necessarily with your liver.
>>34640974I think you'll be fine bro. That doesn't mean start binge drinking, in fact tone that shit down maybe a couple glasses days apart to start. BUT drink LOTS of water, in general. That helps.
>>34641056>>34641104>stomach>kidneyIt was right upper quadrant (RUQ) pain and it was a dull ache so it's probably the liver from what I'm reading. I just don't understand how it could affect me so easily since I almost never drink and rarely take any medication aside from those pills which was the 3rd of 4th time I took them this year.I do smoke a pack a day. Am lactose intolerant. And coffee can sometimes irritate me but that's it.
>>34641104Drinking water isn't the problem. I would actually call myself overhydrated most of the time since I'm OCD about having a glass of water constantly.
>>34640974No you don't. The live can tank irregular acolhol consumption without any problems. What fucks you up is chronic use and never giving it a rest. As a rule of thumb , permanently damaging your body with any substance requires either a massive overdose or regular consumption over a long time.
>>34641215I'm not saying your liver isn't fucked, I'm just saying it's definitely not fucked because of the alcohol.
>>34642466Then what the fuck else could it be?
>>34642592Ibuprofren and alcohol both fuck up your stomach it was probably that.
>>34642592>Then what the fuck else could it be?Hepatitis C?
>>34642628But it was something acute right? Since I rarely drink and rarely take those meds? Or did I cause permanent damage? The pain seems to have passed. It only lasted for a few hours.
>>34642777oh my god you pussy maybe don't drink cheap red wine there is a good reason they call it "rotgut" it's probably what gave you a headache in the first place. and try aleve instead of ibuprofren. Just don't drink alcohol or maybe mix something with ginger ale or ginger beer for your tummy.
