Glad to hear Serzone works for you, but could you maybe try to cut back some on the booze, say to a max of 10 beers a weekend if you're male, or 7 if you're female? Less would be even better. I'm not a doctor, as they say, but you should try to have a liver test every three months; or every six months at the bare minimum.
BTW, I don't know your age, but I was recently shocked to read that liver cirrhosis, which is usually associated with alcoholism, is exceeded only by heart disease and cancer in causing deaths among people aged 45-64. Once someone gets it, they're not likely to be around much longer.

> I take Serzone ans it is the best AD i have ever taken. I take it for my panic/anxiety attacks. I am very worried about the liver warning because the fact that I am a drinker. I drink every weekend.... like 15 beers total. And Serzone is the only medication that I can handle... i have no side effects at all :)
