My husband drinks every evening and I think probably has for the best part of 30 years. It’s got worse since the pandemic he’s drinking anywhere between 14-20 units a night. I’m obviously worried about his health. He doesn’t want to stop and admit there’s a problem so therapy’s not an option. I just wondered how you live with it fortunately he’s not abusive and I leave him to it but it can’t be doing him good.

He had a blood test recently which was sky high for his liver apparently and then had another one last month where apparently the levels have dropped. The dr wants him to have another in 3 months so I’m a bit suspicious he’s not being honest as all he’s said is that they’re checking he’s not diabetic. Would you be suspicious too? I’m not able to hear the conversations as it’s all over the phone. I just wondered what signs I should look out for if he has liver disease so I can get him help.
