"Stop drinking alcohol"
As a whiskey sommelier that owns a SIGNIFICANT amount of whiskey bottles... that isn't something you want to hear from your doctor.
In August of 2024 I took my usual dry week, and I even extended it a few days for good measure.
The reason being, I had a fibro scan scheduled and wanted to give my liver some recuperating time.
And apparently it's a good thing I had it checked out...
I've known that I had NAFLD (Not Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) for some time now. But hearing that it's recently gotten worse, likely BECAUSE I drink alcohol regularly was a very jarring experience.
I've spent five years of my life celebrating whiskey. And now I might not be able to drink any ever again.
Challenge accepted.

And I'll see you... out there!
