It takes a lot longer than ten months and a lot more than nine cans of beer a day to damage your liver. I'd say it'd probably take three to five years before you begin to feel any symptoms and, depending on what you do about it at that point, that will define how much longer you have before your liver begins to fail.
I know the shut down has been rough on a lot of people. We're finding ourselves at home a lot more than usual, we're bored out of our minds, so we resort to two things: food and booze. I think it's important, though, to find distractions from those two things, which has the potential to turn dangerous.
Is there anything you like doing? Are you artistic? Do you like expressing yourself? Do you like creating podcasts? Think of the things you can do and the ways you are able to keep yourself busy so your mind doesn't turn to alcohol.
DISCLAIMER: The three-to-five year range is based on my own personal experience with alcohol. It's different for everyone!
