A doctor may or may not tell you about being able to give a person half of your liver. Your liver is an eternal organ. If you give someone half of your liver, it will take six weeks for the half you gave away to grow back. So the recovery time for the donor is six weeks.
The worst time for the donor is the first two weeks. In order to donate half of the liver, the hospital neutralizes the stomach acid. The hospital feeds the donor sterile food. Donors have felt fine and wanted food that did not taste like cardboard. They had family or friends smuggle in food from outside. Without stomach acid to kill the bacteria, the food from the outside has set off deadly infection. That has killed the donor. So, there is a danger if the donor is a person who refuses to follow instructions. No one should use such a person as a donor.
Other that having a scar, eating cardboard for two weeks, and missing six weeks of work, donors come out just about as they went in.
Some doctors tell you about the possibility, others do not.

Alcohol eats away at your organs which will then damage the liver. Alcohol should not be a "oh lets go party" drink, you should only be drinking to drink it not to get drunk and want to party.
