Excellent lecture. Thanks!. Im just a GP not a Hepatologist but recent education Ive attended has discussed the flawed nature of the J shaped curve mentioned in regards to drinking levels. When these studies were re reviewed it was found socio economic status was a confounding variable that had not been considered. Once this had been adjusted for in multiple studies worldwide it was found there were no health benefits to drinking 1-2 drinks. The supposed health benefits were due to people of higher economic status being more like to drink 1-2 drinks daily and these people had better access to good nutrition, education, exercise etc. The data didn't suggest any harm though.

So, if a person has had AAH, can they ever drink again and still be healthy? I had this and was hospitalized for 6 days, but got all my numbers back to normal within a few weeks. Then I quit drinking for almost 2 years. It seems like I can't ever enjoy anything and have nothing to look forward to. If only other drugs were legal...
