I have ascites and nothing I have read about that is good. That has been my only symptom ever.
For about the first 20 of those years I was a "weekend warrior" and I would binge drink mainly on the weekends.
The last 10 years of my drinking was 12-18 beers a day, EVERY day (with even more on the weekends).
I was VERY anxious towards the end, sure that I'd done some permanent damage, so I know how you're feeling now. Try not to get too anxious until you know the full story. It already looks like things aren't nearly as bad as you'd initially feared. Use this health scare to make some positive changes in your life. Quitting drinking is a great place to start.

Thank you for your quality response. That is what I am looking for. Swapping stories, sharing symptoms and diagnoses from Dr's. I kind of guy I was a binge drinker in my 20's meaning everytime I went out (maybe once a week) the goal was to get completely trashed but when Sunday came, the last thing I wanted to do was drink.
