Because we only have one liver, once you damage it, there’s no plan B, YOU lost the game. It’s not like the kidneys which if you remove one, there’s still another one and you can receive dialysis to ameliorate the symptoms. But many people take the comment a joke. Now I’ll explain what happens to your liver every time you go drinking and abuse alcohol.
