Medical question

[G-Max]

I recently went on a pretty impressive vodka bender. Now a bruise has appeared in the general vicinity of my liver.

Is this bad? Should I be worried?

1. Define impressive
2. Go see a doctor

The simplest answer: No.

It's a lot more likely that you just hit or got hit by something while you were drunk, rather than your liver actually bleeding because of excessive alcohol intake, but if you're really worried GO SEE A DOCTOR.

Let me put it this way: the nearby CVS actually ran out of Rose's Lime Juice because of me, so I got some orange juice and made some screwdrivers instead. Then when that ran out, I just bought a 1.75L bottle of Taaka and did shots.

True; I actually did get into a physical conflict with a dude near the tail-end of my bender (I didn't actually feel like fighting back, though, so I just let him rough me up). The bruise itself also doesn't seem to be getting bigger, and is low enough that it could have been crushed against my pelvis.

If your liver were bleeding to the extent of forming a bruise, then you would be in serious pain, and be turning yellow.
Are you?

It's probably full-blown AIDs.

Well, sorry to disappoint, but I'm apparently still alive. I do need to go easy on the alcohol, though, or one of these days it might not be a false alarm.

i think it's bruise cancer.

OMG! Is that serious?

It was just your liver. It got mad at you for drinking so much and started punching you on the inside.
