Welcome! I had a liver test and it was in the mid to high 200s. I quit drinking and 3 or 4 weeks later they ran the test again. High normal! The body is absolutely amazing.

I understand that you're cutting back. Most people find that attempting to moderate does not end well. Some people can moderate for a while, some can't. In the end, the vast majority of us find ourselves drinking like we had been. Sometimes worse. If you continue to try out moderation, just be sure that you always have the humility to give it up if things get out of hand. There's no shame in that. I tried my hand at moderation but I'm really, really, really, EPICALLY bad at it. No one berated me when I came back. I got a few knowing smiles though.

I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer. I just want to give an honest share. Whatever happens, stick around here. We're pretty good people.
