    She looks fair enough to me.

    Must have been very flat before the op.

    There's no stats though to say the number of people overall who require liver transplants. 1 in 4 is less than I'd expect going to people with alcohol damage, as I'd have thought they were the largest number of people requiring a transplant.

    &quot;Alcoholics get a quarter of all liver transplants despite growing waiting lists.</p>

    Operations on people who have damaged their organs with booze soared 60 per cent in the past 10 years.</p>

    They took 151 of the 623 liver transplants last year.&quot;</p>

    And who's to say they're not the largest single group?</p>
