He drinks 4–6 standard drinks most evenings and takes acetaminophen 1 g four times daily for chronic knee pain. He has obesity and type 2 diabetes. Repeat liver tests confirm a hepatocellular pattern with normal bilirubin and INR. Physical examination shows central adiposity and no stigmata of chronic liver disease. While further investigations are arranged, he asks how to minimize additional liver injury.?
