Hi Barbie

Just wanted to let you know that Tea/Dark Colored Urine is the excess bilirubin being excreted through the kidneys and out in the urine. Conjugated Bilirubin in the blood is actually dead red blood cells excreted by the already damaged liver that come to the surface of heavily perfused tissue (ie: the skin/eyes) to cause that yellow color (Jaundice). The tea colored urine is a sign of worsening liver damage in a patient already diagnosed with cirrhosis.

Your husband is throwing gasoline on a fire by continuing to ingest alcohol. You should know how horrible dying of cirrhosis is to witness.

Please take care of yourself, because you are powerless to stop this process from going forward. You can only save yourself.
