Do Soft Drinks Affect The Liver Causing Tiredness And Insomnia?

I have just been diagnosed with a problem starting in my liver. My Doctor asked if I drink alcohol. I have about 1 teaspoon of rum in a glass of Diet Pepsi or Coca Cola in the evening before dinner. She said to give that up. My husband & I are wondering whether the Soft drink is more damaging than the small about of Rum. Naturally I am giving it up. I am 70 years old. Everything else if fine but I do suffer great tiredness.I do not sleep well then when I go to bed.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you have not done the routine tests then it is better to get it done some test like blood glucose tests thyroid functions test, alcohol may not be consumed if this is the liver pathology, hope this information helps.
