Can Excessive Alcohol Consumption Cause Liver Failure?
Hi I am a 29 year old female who is an alcoholic, I started drinking due to an abusive partner and have been drinking for over 6 years. Well now my stomach is swollen and I can feel lumps around my belly button which are painful and my stomach is generally uncomfortable, some people say I look pregnant. :-( I am really worried that I may have liver failure and am terrified.
