How much liver is required for liver transplant?
Enough to keep the recipient alive and hopefully healthy, so it's around 90-110% of the size of the recipient's original liver that is required. (You can survive with only 5% of your liver working, but obviously the liver transplant recipient wants to live, not merely survive (since you can "survive" whist being quite ill). If a liver becomes available, it would be silly not to transplant as much of it as possible to meet the size of the original, since this speeds up recovery time post-transplant - i.e the liver does not need lots of time to regenerate, since it's already the correct size).

Well, Considering that vicodin isn't meant to be snorted, who knows. Something that will happen despite whether you take it how you should or not would be it killing your liver. You can survive on between a half and a third - assuming that much of the liver is healthy. That doesn't mean you WANT to kill it... Oh and like I said, that's with the assumption you have a healthy liver and you don't even want me to explain the meanings of a healthy one. Chances are, you don't.
