Did you mean liver cirrhosis? Heavy drinking for a prolonged period of time can definitely lead to liver cirrhosis. One symptom of it that relates to your question is ascites, which is the build up of fluid in the tissues lining the abdomen. If you think this is something you have you should talk to your doctor about next steps to make sure it doesn't get worse and lead to other complications. 

 

Along the lines of drinking, if you really want to quit drinking, there are many great, free programs and groups you can enroll yourself into to helo you quit drinking. They're really non-judgmental and they'll help you take that first step into ridding yourself of alcohol.

Hope this helps! 

many thanks ...i have been to see someone and luckly i was ok .i have since  cut down alot..again thank you for your reply..
