So basically, in the space of 3 months I've gone from having a liver that was borderline cirrhotic to one that is nearly as good as new. Everyone's different though
Yeah, what I love about the liver it at least gives you some warning time before all the wheels start coming off.

It goes from 1. fatty liver > 2. alcohol induced hepatitis liver > 3. cirrhosis.

Luckily I'm still at stage 1, and I'm not gonna push my luck either.
No more booze till next summer at the very least

Yeah, thats what I figured. Thanks
