 Hi all,

This might sound like  very stupid question; however, I need to ask it.

I have been putting coconut extract in my shakes (about a tablespoon each shake) and one of the ingredients is alcohol. 

When having 4 shakes a day, with a tablespoon of extract in each shake, that is using up a bottle of the small extract in about a day and a half. 

Is this too much alcohol for my liver for the surgery? I don't want them to open me up and have to close me because my liver is still too fatty or damaged from the extract use. (I have a fatty liver to start with).

Thanks!

Tracey

But if you are worried, use some alternatives  like coffee etc
