When Social Drinking 🥃 Goes Too Far | Dr Pal

so I just got a call from the emergency room because I'm the on-call gastroenterologist because a patient came in with vomiting blood his liver is completely damaged I asked him how long he has been drinking he said he has been drinking socially for the last 15 years the problem is he doesn't know how much to include in Social drinking so the patient is in the endoscopy room we are going to do the endoscopy and then you know what happens is we put some rubber bands around the bleeding vessels so that we'll be able to control the breathing so I just got done with the procedure I was able to control the bleeding save the patient but I'm not sure whether I should be really happy because I did not address the underlying concern this patient is going to go back home and then drink alcohol right away and the problem is because if you don't drink in a social Gathering it is considered as a taboo these days rethink and re-evaluate what you're doing so I'm not saying that you know if you drink alcohol once in a while it is going to completely damage your liver but the problem is most people don't know the limit and sometimes it can become a habit
