RG & Fizz:
Thanks for the replies. Really good information. I avoid Acetaminophen like the plague. I do, however, imbibe in a couple of beers several days per week. I really enjoy having a beer or two with friends at the end of the work day and that is one vice that I really don't want to give up. I have my blood tested twice per year and, although my ALT and AST enzymes are typically just within the recommended range, my ratio of ALT:AST is very good.
I take a single benzo dose per day when I awake in the morning and, if I do have a beer that day, then it is usually at least 8 hours later. It just makes sense to me that I should avoid having peak levels of each substance in my bloodstream at the same time.
I'm trying to be careful. I guess you could say that my goal is substance use vs. substance abuse.
Love Thy Liver! This replacement part is hard to come by.
