      Sucks, sort of, but first they said 4 weeks, because my liver enzymes are high.  Then when my numbers didn't change they tested me for hep.  No hep so they did an ultrasound.  No fat or abormalities, so they tell me to do a blood test again in 2 months and meanwhile no booze!
      Well, fortunately there's a non-toxic industrial alcohol (technically a diol) which makes me feel better than booze.  So I'm chilling with this no alcohol thing.

      Yeah, they wanted me to be booze free when I was taking isoniazid for TB. I had one drink each night and got liver tested frequently. No harm done.

      A short while back I had to give up booze for 18 months. It was a real pain to start with but once you get the hang of it is actually quite good fun, and you save quite a bit of money. I realised that I could go out and dance to bands and have a good time and act like a total fool without having to have drunk anything at all. The main downside was coming home at 3am-ish and then not being able to sleep because I'd been drinking coke all night.
      Best of luck with it mate.
