10. In many cases, liver function can be improved.

My stepfather was on the transplant list after suffering two bleedouts from esophageal varices. The docs told him if he kept drinking it was the same thing as choosing to die. He decided to quit, and after a year his liver function has recovered enough that he's no longer on the list, though is still on medication.

Wishing your friend the best, and you as well. Not to sound preachy, but I'm a big fan of the Al-Anon Family Groups -- Al-Anon is not just for spouses of alcoholics, but anyone who is impacted by someone else's drinking. If you need to speak with people who know what you're going through... just a thought.

Take care.
