Thank you Panache, I truly hope I haven't done irreversible damage. I've tried to google how much one has to drink before the body caves to liver damage etc. but I couldn't find anything really definitive. I swear I feel my liver hurting today - I'm not sure that it's even possible but I'm only 34 and I feel like I still have some good drinking years in me yet.
But I want more than just a few years.
My uncle died a few years ago just from drinking too much one night. He was 47, I think.
