Hi, I Have Been Drinking Heavily Over The Last Year...however

Hi,

I have been drinking heavily over the last year...however this doesn't match my lifestyle...I am 27 years old, 6 foot tall, around 15 stone, in good shape due to gym and boxing etc and generally eat well. I have started experiencing a feeling where my liver is. I do not know if this is psychological because I was worried about my drinking and do have days off (rare) but when I do drink it can be anything between 4 - 25 units per day. Is it likely chirossis can develop over a year of heavy drinking, are there any other possibilities. I appreciate getting checked will be the general advice which I will, but just feel a bit braver doing this initially!!

Thanks

Wayne
