Problems with your liver can be fatal and cause death . Please see your doctor about this.
I am in the same boat. The doctor says, no alcohol until the liver is healed. This is strictly because the liver is the organ that filters alcohol. The liver filters poisons from the body and the body considers alcohol to be a poison.
It could take the ecosystem years and possibly decades to recover from such an infusion of oil and gas.
It depends on how badly liver function was affected to begin with; after many years of heavy drinking, it is unlikely that highest levels of liver functioning will be attained. However, it should at least be possible to get back to a "low normal" level of liver function. Although the liver does "regenerate" so long as there is enough healthy liver left to do this, the scarred tissues of the liver are not "reabsorbed"; they do not go away, and instead are now a permanent feature - this is why some liver function may not be completely repairable. In most people the "scarred" hepatocytes are randomly distributed throughout the liver (rather than in one big cluster); this means that the scarred part(s) of the liver cannot be surgically removed to allow new hepatocytes room to regrow. So, with scarred liver tissue remaining, this means that blood flow around and through the liver may not be considered "optimal", which will impact upon liver functioning. This is why, even in the long run, it may not be completely possible to restore you liver to a "pre-drinking" condition. However, as long as there is still a decent amount of healthy liver to regenerate and you stay clear of drinking, (and attempt to follow a generally healthy lifestyle) your liver function should reach "your optimum" within a year. Generally, this level is enough for a decent quality of life without requiring excessive medical intervention.
It takes many years of heavy drinking to be a cause of liver damage. On the other hand, drinking in moderation benefits the liver.
It takes years (typically decades) of heavy abusive drinking to cause any damage to the liver.
12 years at the least 12 years at the least
Yes, the alcohol damage your liver, also your liver renew itself every 2 years

Cirrhosis is a slow progressing disease of the liver where healthy liver tissue is gradually replaced with scar tissue. The liver can no longer filter toxins like drugs and alcohol.
Abusive alcohol drinking constantly over a period of many years or decades can cause liver problems.
