Can Drinking Cause Any Side Effects After A Liver Transplant?

Hi Dr.Samuel my name is Dean I had Liver transplant 3 years ago due to chirossiss , however the cause is kind of a mystery as why, one of the things it may have been is 9 years ago I weighed 307 lbs and decided to have gastric by pass the RUN-Y PROCEDURE AND I was 38 at the time I have gone my whole life with out drinking so about 41 I had started drinking but only for approximitley for about 3 years , also I had been on vicodin since 1989 due to a severe back injury and operation so with that in mind, what if any health issues would I have if I started consuming two vodka and orangejuice in the evening with my spouse. I am truly sorry but I got to the end where it says continue and I am embarrassed to tell you that I had no idea that there was a charge for you answer but I truly have no money and I really would like to know for sure

Hi. Well as you know from the internet at least, mixing Vicodin with alcohol is really dangerous for the health and the life, so I don't have other words apart from stopping the alcohol immediately for the more now with a new liver wich can be even mor damaged by this combination. Meanwhile Vitamin E in high doses I mean 100 mg three times a day and Legalon 140 mg three times a day for one month or two is the best treatment.
