ā€œAcute pancreatitis ā€

I was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis a month ago and was in the hospital for 10 days. I Have some necrotic tissue but the doctors say Iā€™m healing fast and a lot better than others. I am only 19 and in college they believe it is due from alcohol. Can I drink again in 6 months?

No. You are playing with fire. It is too dangerous to keep drinking alcohol. You have risk of another bout of pancreatitis and with necrosis. This could destroy your pancreas completely and you will not want to live if that were to happen.
