Alcohol-related liver damage can be divided into three categories:
Fatty liver. Some degree of fat deposition in the liver occurs in almost all heavy drinkers.
Alcoholic hepatitis. This disorder is characterized by widespread inflammation and destruction (i.e., necrosis) of liver tissue. Scar tissue may begin to replace healthy liver tissue, a process called fibrosis. Symptoms of alcoholic hepatitis may include fever, jaundice,2 and abdominal pain.

This structural damage results in severe functional impairment, which may lead secondarily to malfunction of other organs, such as the brain and kidneys.

Why does a person who drinks a lot of alcohol urinate frequently?
Alcohol is a diuretic meaning that it increases the amount of urine that the body produces. When a person drinks alcohol their kidneys produce more urine than normal in order to rid the body of the toxin. This is why a person who drinks a lot of alcohol will urinate frequently.
The more a person drinks the more urine their body will produce. This is because the kidneys work faster to get rid of the alcohol. Some signs that a person is drinking too much alcohol include:
- Urinating more frequently
- Drinking more than usual
- Feeling thirsty after drinking
- Feeling tired and weak
It is important to remember that drinking too much alcohol can have serious health consequences. If a person notices any of the signs listed above they should speak to a doctor or health care provider for advice.

Can you drink alcohol at all after pancreatitis?
No is like suicide
If you have had pancreatitis, you know how bad it hurts and know that you do not wish to go thru the pain again. I have had chronic paincreatitis and have been in the hospital 4 times in the last two years. Everytime I went was with projectile vomiting and excrushiating pain. Can you guess what my problem was. I was to convinced that ahh I gave it alittle time I can drink again. WRONG. When the Dr's tell you NO, listen to them. Each trip cost me 1 1/2 weeks to the hospital and I did that 4 times. That's also 1.5 months out of work. Can you afford that? Insurance stopped paying after the first trip saying it was a pre-existing condition and I now have a medical bill hovering around 100,000 dollars to pay off all because I thought I was tough enough to drink again. This is my own personal story, stupid as it is, maybe you can learn from it and make better choiced than I did

How old do have to be to drink in Spain?
You have to be 18 years old. However, it is not as strictly enforced as it is in the United States, if that is where you live.
You did the crime now you do the time. Tough it out. It has been said that if you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch and pee with the pups.
However, if you need a cure, the simplest answer is don't drink. If you do drink, do so in moderation. Many people find that clear spirits such as vodka and gin are less likely to cause hangovers.
If it too late for that, look to the old school cure; bite the dog that bit you.
A hangover is an imbalance in your system caused by the alcohol, essentially too much being washed out of your system at once and your body's inability to keep up. This combined with dehydration.
If you attempt to cure the dehydration with large amounts of water, you will become drunk all over, and likely sick drunk. So, instead, be a bit reactionarily proactive and drink a shot of the poison you were quaffing the night before.
And then sit for a few minutes.
Of course drinking and driving being what it is, you probably shouldn't drive yourself to work. So either get on the "Alcoholic Cycle," or learn your lesson and leave the bottle alone until you mature sufficiently to learn how to drink it.
None of the commercial products for hangover being sold has proven effective in preventing hangovers.
