She was hiding at sea and calling it work. Colleen Clifford fished commercially for years, drinking to outrun something she had buried. Here she talks about binge drinking, breaks down the 95/5 denial cycle, and describes how shame convinced her she was unlovable. She shares the loss of her husband to alcohol-related suicide, the moment she finally asked for help, and the small acts of self-kindness that rebuilt her worth. Honest, raw, and hopeful, this one is for anyone who has used distraction to outrun pain.

USC study finds that even moderate drinkers with MASLD face sharply higher risk if they engage in episodic heavy drinking

A recent study from Keck Medicine of USC highlights that episodic heavy drinking—even just once a month—substantially increases the risk of advanced liver scarring, particularly in individuals with metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). MASLD, affecting approximately one in three U.S. adults, is linked to conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Using data from over 8,000 adults collected through the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2017 and 2023, researchers compared individuals who engaged in episodic heavy drinking (four or more drinks for women, five or more for men in a single day) with those who consumed the same total alcohol amount more gradually. Findings indicate that episodic heavy drinkers with MASLD were nearly three times more likely to develop advanced liver fibrosis than non-episodic drinkers. Younger adults and men were more likely to binge drink, and higher quantities in a single session correlated with greater liver damage. The study emphasizes that liver health risk is not just about total alcohol consumption but also the pattern of drinking. Dr. Brian P. Lee, lead researcher, stresses that even moderate drinkers should avoid episodic heavy drinking due to its potential to accelerate liver damage.
