Woman Warns People The Danger Of Alcohol Abuse By Sharing Her Own Experience
It’s the alcoholic stomach.
Trina Beil, who has been sober for more than five months now, shares the real wake-up call that made her change her lifestyle. The recovering addict showed just what it’s like not to stop drinking when you’re supposed to.
Trina’s TikTok video has more than 13.2 million views, warning people against the danger of an alcoholic lifestyle.
“Hi, guys. This is not food in my stomach. I’m Trina, an alcoholic addict,” she introduced herself. “I’ve been clean off meth almost two years, and I’m four and a half months sober. I did not listen to my specialist when he told me to stop drinking, or I’d have huge liver problems.”
“And here we are. I got a report yesterday that is not good.”
“When I try to eat or drink anything, it’s super uncomfortable.”

If you’re questioning whether you should stop drinking or thinking sh** like this could never happen to you… it can.”
She continued her reminder, “I’m just balls-out here showing you because this is the reality of addiction and alcoholism, and I hope if you’re questioning to stop or not, that you definitely will.”

Trina also opened up about her past substance abuse history since the age of 24.
She now has severe liver damage from her addiction to alcohol. She probably will need a liver transplant, and the bulging belly she shows in her video is called hepatomegaly. It’s caused by the excessive swelling of the damaged liver from continuous, heavy alcohol consumption.
Everyone has different alcohol tolerance and has to take care not to drink it excessively. While the liver is capable of detoxifying alcohol, once you cross that threshold, you’ll be inflicting yourself with cirrhosis, late-stage liver damage where permanent scars on the liver cannot be recovered anymore.
And did you also know that cirrhosis is the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S. among adults 25 to 64 years of age?
Stay healthy, guys!
