Absolutely CORRECT ....... except your suggestion that cutting DOWN drinking will cause MORE damage to the patient!
But.... in ANY case, we are NOT talking about a 'patient' that is showing NO symptoms of cirrhosis! We are talking about a patient who is showing EVERY sign of the disease which is PROBABLY exacerbated by drink! We do NOT know if it IS caused by drink but it damn well LOOKS like it!
Would you REALLY suggest that the patient CONTINUES to drink even if we HADN'T got a proper test for cirrhosis...... even though we SUSPECT it could be cirrhosis?????
Go on..... DO IT! Funny how you WON'T!
And that is EXACTLY like our behaviour over fossil fuels (as a 'shorthand' for our 'global warming' effects)!
We are showing all the SIGNS of a 'disease' which LOOKS as though it is made WORSE by continuing to use fossil fuels at the rate we do, today !
Now YOU tell me what YOU would advise our 'potential cirrhotic patient'!
It is VERY notable how NONE of you lot DARE answer the ACTUAL QUESTION! If anything shows how CLOSE this analogy is, THAT DOES!
