Answers: is failing? and how long will it take to that point?
pain or discomfort and swelling to the right upper side where the liver lays. Yellow color to the whites of the eyes, yellow tinted skin color. Have your doctor run lab tests to check your liver enzymes to see if they are elevated even if you are not having symptoms. Everyone is different, some people have liver damage early on with drinking while others takes years for damage to show. Honestly the best thing you can do is stop drinking now before you do irreversibe damage.
Fatigue, swelling around the liver area(just behind the right side rib cage), jaundice(yellowing of the eyeballs and skin.
No telling how long to get to that point.
Loss of appetite, abdomen gets larger, starting to notice slight yellow tinge of the whites of the eyes, dark urine, sometimes flu like symptoms, the list goes on. Best way to know is to go the your doctor and get a complete chemistry profile (blood test) which checks the liver enzymes.
