This is a very interesting study. But why didn't they pair this study with some sort of test for liver damage? Asking alcohol history is ONE element assessing outcomes of treatment, the other (more important element) is liver damage, or cirrhosis. In order for this study to have a significant clinical application, they should should have performed biopsies. But for now, it could allow physicians to direct their focus to other more important questions in a patient's history.
