His current coctail of meds + the hooch........NOT GOOD!
I have a relative who is lucky to be alive to this day! He's 'young' mid forties
but his liver was SHOT and he layed in a hospital for MONTHS waiting for a transplant!! Don't wait till bloodwork proves high liver enzymes, sometimes, it's too late, depending on this use/overuse of meds/drink.....
.......I'm pointing the finger at ME here too!

I had NO idea at the time that the amount of tylenol products (over the counter and prescription) I was taking were sending my liver into a plunge.....I saw the warning labels and was told to be careful, but somehow didn't think it applied to 'me'....?
The blood test and the look in the Dr's eye made me realize I needed to make some serious changes!
