can I drink alcohol after hepatitis c treatment?

[swoloby]

i wonder if when i finish the treatment and pass the six months, can i drink alcohol again as a young man (I'm 19 years old)? how much time is necessary to recover my liver ?

Have you started trt yet?  Have you had a biopsy?  If so, what stage?  Tell us more.

  Alcohol is like gasoline to your liver, so if you do drink after svr do it in moderation and responsibly, your liver is not ever going to be the same, although it will heal.  In my opinion (depending on severity of liver damage) you should wait at min. 8mo-1yr just to give yourself ample reagenerative growth time, remember these med are also very hard on you..

  AFTER SVR THE BELOW RULE STILL FOLLOWS

Drinking too much alcohol can lead to three types of liver conditions - fatty liver, hepatitis, and cirrhosis. You are unlikely to develop these problems if you drink within the recommended safe limits detailed below. For all types of liver disease caused by alcohol, the main treatment is to stop drinking alcohol completely.

I agree with candoman.Assuming you got a SVR,if not I would abstain from alcohol.

Given your age severe liver damage doesn't seem to be a problem, once your SVR drinking in moderation should not be a problem... Good luck
