I have a friend who is averaging drinking 12 beers a night?
Question:
Answers:
This is a question that is complicated to answer without knowing your friend's medical history. A few things to point out though: One, alcohol can cause the body to be dehydrated, which would explain the frequent trips to the restroom. Also as others here have pointed out, accessive drinking can and will do damage to a person's body if it continues for a long period of time. Abuse such as this can also lead to irreversible brain damage! Scary. If your friend is drinking this much on a daily basis, chances are he is an alcoholic. The best way to help him is to get the facts about this disease. I have a support group that can help. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/afa... Education is the best defense against this disease (alcoholism). Good luck!
he needs help
I'm sure it's not the only thing. Someone who drinks that much probably doesn't eat well, exercise enough, or take care of themselves properly in any other way.
I agree - he needs some serious help. Make sure he's honest with the doctor about how much he's drinking, and the other crap he's doing.
Good luck with that. . .
It could be. As you already know he's drinking way outside of the maximum he should be drinking per day, and over time that can mess things up in your body. Try to support him and care for him and I'm sure he'll have a much better chance of making a full recovery if he knows he has comebody caring for him.
Could be liver failure i hear alcohol can do that he should go see a doctor and see AA (if he want to resolve his problem).
Digestive problems? probably IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) However, LIVER FAILURE is not to be shrugged off which one causative factor is definitely alcohol.
Regardless, this is bad habitual behavior and the drinking needs to be tapered down and off if possible.
a direct answer? YES, IT IS. his liver can not take in anymore additional toxins because it is now full of alcohol and other bad stuff that's why he keeps on urinating. ask him to look at his urine, is it very thick? does it has an unusual smell already? if it does, then, chances are, he is on the verge of his hepatitis A or B, or his uric acid has shoot up and worse, his SGPT also shoot up. he needs a good doctor and good colon and liver cleansing. i bet he eats lots of meat and that's for sure...and no or little fruits and vegetables... our liver is the filter of our body. if it takes too much toxin, that's what will happen. so, let him stop drinking beer or alcohol. instead let him drink more water from now on...hope this answers your question.
of course it is.just told him to stop drink too much beer
ya the beers are cacthing up with him
My husband is in recovery so over the last 5 years I have learned so much about alcohol and its effects. If he's only been drinking heavily for a few months, then most likely alcohol isn't the coperet. He could have had something wrong prior to the heavy drinking and now with all of the drinking triggered a serious problem.
Advice/Suggestion: Be a friend. Understand that he MAY have a problem with alcohol and if that is so he may be making whatever is wrong much worse by drinking.
It may or may not be the alcohol consumption. At minimum the alcohol will only make the problem worse. It could be a parasite or bacterial infection of some sort or something more systemic. It is important for the doctor to know how much he drinks if he is to get the correct treatment. Often times alcoholics will not tell the doctor or minimize the amount of alcohol they drink. This is not a good thing as it could have negative results on the treatment prescribed.
