You clearly miss the point. The fact is that liver disease is increasingly significantly in age groups it was not historically a problem in. This was widely reported in the UK last year, I may not have picked the best article.
- brudgers 15y agoThe rate of occurrence may be increasing, but the rate at which persons are being diagnosed may also play a role, as may changes to the rates at which person's seek treatment. In other words, a 32 year old with a beer belly might be more likely to be diagnosed based on a doctor's increased awareness, or may be more likely to be diagnosed because of more frequent visits to the doctor. And even if those do not play a role, a case has not been made that special regulations with regard to alcohol are a better solution than other alternatives.
