What does it mean when your ankles swell real bad only when drinking alcohol?

Any chronic liver disease is very bad. Only a doctor can tell you your specific condition and estimated mortality. It could be months and it could be a few years, depending on many factors.

The blunt aspect is that many people die while they are on a liver transplant waiting list.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
