I had mild minor liver damage due to an illness when I was a teen and my doctor told me not to drink alcohol for year (which I didn't). Forty years later I still cannot drink alcohol beyond a small taste or I get headaches and nausea. I think it is for life.

- init2null 5y agoI can't say that I agree there. It sounds like they can't metabolize it well. As someone who's been abstinent for large portions of my life (never been drunk either), it's still not difficult to drink a single serving, and I normally won't suffer for it.
