Liver of 'weekend-only' alcohol drinker stuns netizens; Internet divided

Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, who goes by the name 'TheLiverDoc' on X, shared a post on social media comparing liver of a non-alcoholic person as opposed to the organ of a person who 'drinks on weekends' only, leaving netizens alarmed.

"Hello. Just wanted to show the inside of the liver of a 32-year-old, 'weekends only' alcohol drinking man, and the healthy donor liver of his wife, that he received, that will help him survive to see their little daughter grow up," he captioned the post.

The liver that the doctor claimed was of someone who never drank alcohol was pink as opposed to the brown liver of a 'weekend only' drinker.

The post soon went viral on X, leaving the Internet divided.

Many were inspired by his post and agreed that alcohol leaves one's body with everlasting damage.

"I’m 25 now. Every time I hang out with my friends, drinks are always a part of the meeting. Lately, whenever I see them and pick up a glass, your posts come to my mind, stories like the laddoo, brain-dead incidents, etc., all hit me, and I end up putting the glass down. Even if I drink just 30 ml, the guilt or fear haunts me. You’ve had a big impact on my life, doc. Anyway, I’ve almost stopped drinking over the past year - just three beers total. Next year, I’m planning to stop completely. My next goal is to stop binge eating at night," a user wrote.

Meanwhile, some users refused to believe that this was the liver of someone who only drank on weekends.

"Looking at the organ, seems he was lying with her family & doctors, he seems completely alcoholic for entire week," one user commented, to which Dr Philips replied saying: "You won't understand. Keep feeding your confirmation biases. Sometimes experience is a great teacher."

Dr Philips is known for his posts on social media, where he claim to debunk popular myths, mostly related to health.
