Alcoholic cirrhosis

I am 39/f I have been drinking half a fifth of fireball a night for. Year and a half I’m terrified I have cirrhosis. 8 months ago had clear ultrasound and labs looked ok but I carried on daily drinking. Does anyone have cirrhosis after drinking for such a short period of time I read about it all the time and I’m so worried

Go to the doc and get updated blood tests. You need professional advice about your liver. Each person has their own timeline how fast their organs become damaged from alcohol. Don’t put it off.
