Adrian Chiles Drinkers Like Me

[Metalhead]

Following this programme, I’m wondering if I should ask my GP to refer me for a liver FibroScan. I’ve recently cut down a lot on my drinking, but have been a pretty heavy drinker on and off for the past 20 years. I’ve had blood tests before that we’re all fine, but so were Adrian’s in his documentary and yet he still had some liver damage. Do you think my GP would refer me for a scan or would I be wasting my time?

Depends what you mean by pretty heavy drinker.

gower when I was at uni and at my worst I would drink every day, and get properly drunk at least twice a week. Since then I’ve swung between drinking half a bottle of wine most days to only drinking at the weekend, but I’ve also had at least one massive binge every year (up to 2 bottles of wine). So I’ve probably been over the recommended weekly limit most weeks.
