Ok you cannot get diagnosis on this page but what you can get is some advice from people who already have liver disease for a variety of reasons. If you are worried you already know you are drinking too much so why not only drink at weekends and make every second drink a non alcoholic one. There is plenty to choose from. Then unless you have any problems go and live your life. But remember health is a precious privilege not a right. Easy to ignore this when you’re young.
