Just an add-on. Every person I know that has had liver problems or
elevated enzymes has been a heavy user of Advil or Tylenol. The
doctors will never ask you if you take the stuff. They will only ask
you how much you drink. If you know anyone with such problems, please
alert them to the fact that taking that stuff and drinking is a sure
way to shred your liver. Whether your taking it for back pain or
headaches, if you want your liver to be healthy you need to address
the source of pain and fix it without resorting to the temporary fix
of Advil or Tylenol. Believe it or not, it's very likely it's not the
alchohol doing the damage.

I submit that the high cases of elevated liver enzymes is from Advil

not take that stuff for hangovers.

Hi folks. With all the problems with alcohol seemingly rampant in the UK
lately - for various reasons, cheapness, accessibility, street-cred, etc.
etc. - it seems to be the fashion in the media lately to clobber drinking of
any kind.

There's a kind of grudging admission that One Glass Of Red Wine Is Good For
You, but that's it!!! Without going into a long argument about what is, and
what isn't, sensible drinking - we're all adults here, hopefully - how is it
that people in Europe have been drinking wine regularly for years
(centuries, even!) in moderate quantities, and haven't had the promised
"epidemic" of liver disease and all the other nasties?

There was a prog on the telly the other night maintaining that even a couple
of glasses with a meal was bad for you! I, personally, can't deal with
this! I'm getting a conscience every time I have a glass of my latest
lovely homebrew! Help !!!!
