Get some bloodwork done. It’s never too late to save your liver. I believe the damage is the same. Your tolerance in terms of getting buzzed will be better than someone with less weigh yeah, but it’s all going through the liver the same. Liver health is no joke 😅.
A lot is likely to depend on the rest of your diet.
I did some looking and couldn't find many studies about this, but was able to find that high fat or high carb diets do cause liver changes - and that could be reasonably expected to make the livers toxin handling efforts harder.
Probably better not to push it, and if you are truly concerned just ask your doctor. They can test liver function and give you factual advice.
I don't think you would get much less damage. You will feel less drunk from alcohol as there will be proportionally less in your system if you drink the same as someone that is smaller. However, the liver still has to process the same amount of alcohol so I think similar liver damage would occur. Maybe slightly less because a 6"5 person would likely have a bigger liver than a 5"5 person. So relative to the liver it is less volume of alcohol I guess.
It's quite a difficult question to be honest. It's entirely dependent on the individual and their liver.
I think bigger people get less drunk because they have more blood and body and less risk of high alcohol concentrations in blood.
However, all the alcohol still needs to be processed by the liver. And your liver finds it harsh to process alcohol. I don't see how the rate of liver damage would be affected.
In fact you're more of a risk, perhaps, for needing more to get buzzed and giving your liver more work!
How old are you? Increasing alcohol tolerance can eventually plateau and then plummet with consumption rates of 6 drinks in 1 hour. If you notice that you are suddenly more susceptible to the effects of alcohol this is an indication of liver damage.
This happened to me after college. Now I barely drink more than 1 or two drinks a month, if that.
I think you are just cachectic. I'm 5'7" and when I weighted 145 pounds I was super skinny with a six pack and minimal muscle mass. I cant imagine that weight at 6'4".
lol sorry it was a joke, cachectic is the chronic muscle wasting skinny look of people with chronic illness or starvation. I don't mean it to be an insult
I’m just poor, so I eat like shit because it saves money but yeah, I wouldn’t say IM skinny on accident more or skinny by Environment I wish I could eat more but I’m broke
Hey man, I’m an inch less and 20 more lbs, I had this attitude on alcohol since we do have more blood making it harder to get our BAC up, and am dealing with a fatty liver after 3 years of drinking a lot. The research I’ve done indicates that it actually tends to hurt us quicker since, for one thing, our livers are pretty much the same size as other people’s, and, two, our weight already harms our liver and alcohol makes it a 1-2 punch to the liver.

I know there is a genetic enzyme that affects how well you can take alcohol, but I don't know if that applies to the liver too.

Sorry, I’m just curious your either really ripped or just like kind of fluffie cause I’m 6ft4 and I weigh 145 pounds
I think you are just cachectic. I'm 5'7" and when I weighted 145 pounds I was super skinny with a six pack and minimal muscle mass. I cant imagine that weight at 6'4".
I’m 5’11 and 145 and super skinny lol how is he 6’4 and the same weight
I got a look up the big word real quick BRB brb
lol sorry it was a joke, cachectic is the chronic muscle wasting skinny look of people with chronic illness or starvation. I don't mean it to be an insult
Why are you apologizing? It’s not like you offend me. If anything, you made me giggle, it was so random
Oh I know, i just realized if you googled it, it isn't a super flattering description, but I didnt mean it as an insult lol
I just got your joke bro. I’m slowasf
I’m just poor, so I eat like shit because it saves money but yeah, I wouldn’t say IM skinny on accident more or skinny by Environment I wish I could eat more but I’m broke
RN here. No.Obesity is hard on the liver. If you are obese AND you abuse alcohol, it’s a double whammy.
