on the day i quit my liver was very painful and somewhat hard.
during my drinking:
daily diahrea.
vomitting every morning....usually just bile because when i drink i don't eat.
terrible headaches.
extremely puffy eyes.
horrible acid reflux....pepcid ac's stored everywhere...work...car...home.
bad color to my skin.
constantly getting what i call "alkie bruises" on my forearms if i hit them against anything.....purple looking things...i've only seen 'em on other drinkers.
no stamina to do anything.
high blood pressure.

health since i've quit (only 15 days so far):
no puffiness around the eyes.
no acid reflux
no vomitting.
normal bm.
no bruises on forearms.
bp is down to normal.
energy to do things around the house.

pretty good tradeoff.
