the year long interferon/ribviran shots@pills only got my #s down to 7,000.
Since then I had a biopsy,and was told min.fibrosis&no necrosis. Can I drink
a non-alchohol beer once in a while?One of my VA Drs. said sure,but he is
only a resident MD. My other Doctor predicted some form of cirrosis in 5-6
years. Your thoughts please-My first posting.

While there is always some amount of alcohol in non-alcohol beer, it's usually
well under 1% by volume. As long as you don't do something truly stupid and
start downing six-packs of O'Douls at a sitting, it's unlikely to have any
significant effect on your liver...
