How much alcohol abuse does it take for the onset of liver disease or symptoms of?

  • Posted on September 2, 2011 at 7:15 am

My little brother who is roughly 22 is in college now and called me to get my advice cause he’d been experiencing light abdominal pain. Now I know he drinks a lot cause he’s honest with me and that’s a good thing. From what he tells me he drinks enough to get him drunk 4-5 nights out of the week. He’s not a big guy (5′-7" and about 180) but enough to get him drunk would be about six or seven beers and maybe a shot or two. The thing is he’s been doing this for about 3 months now (beginning of school year to now.) He says he hasn’t noticed any yellowing of the skin,eyes or any other pain, just a slight discomfort in his abdomen and lower chest. I guess what I’m asking is is liver disease something that develops over a longer period of time or could it develop in a couple months? I’ve already told him that the main thing is to prevent the development of poor habits which will cause him to behave this way beyond his college years, but I just wanna gauge his risk factor at present.
Also he’s in a frat and I’ve seen this group – it’s about 30 guys who all do the same thing… So it’s hard for me to say stop when his friends are also drinking that much…. What’s funny is that he almost NEVER drinks when he’s home, it’s not an addiction just a HORRIBLE social habit – that’s what bothers me

I need a clip depicting women and alcohol abuse from a movie. If you know of any really good scenes having to do with alcohol abuse (female or not) that’d help! Something along the lines of Requiem for a Dream, but not drugs, just alcohol.

Why is it that after many years of alcohol abuse that alcoholic's noses become very large and pock marked?

Crazy Horse: I am referring to hardened alcoholics, not people who drink casually every day. I have seen many with very large noses.
