“We Are Sober, Chommie”: Women Refused Alcohol at Groove After Partying Too Hard

• A bartender at a local establishment called Copper Club refused two women alcoholic beverages
• The friends tried their best to get the man to serve them alcoholic drinks, even noting they would share one
• Social media users in the viral post's comment section found the interaction comical but also applauded the bartender
• Dr Barbara Makumbi, a medical specialist gastroenterologist and hepatologist, explained to Briefly News how too much alcohol affects one's liver

When people go out to parties, the drink of choice is often alcohol, which can be enjoyed responsibly but also poses risks when overconsumed.

After a bartender noticed that two friends had already had enough to drink, he refused to serve them more alcohol.

No more drinks for you

A local woman named Sihle Nqwiliso uploaded a video of herself and her friend at a bar called Copper Club on her TikTok account (@sihlenqwiliso).

The woman wrote in her post:

"POV: You and your girl had a little too much fun, and they refuse to give you more bev."

While possibly under the influence of alcohol, the two women pleaded with a bartender to serve them more.

However, the man on the other side of the counter refused, saying:

"Anything else we can get you, but not alcohol."

Sihle turned to her friend and comically said:

"We are so sober, chommie."

Trying to come up with a plan, the friend said to the bartender:

"Can you please get one drink for the both of us? We'll share it."

Unfortunately, the plan didn't work, as the man stood by his decision to serve the women anything but alcohol.

How does too much alcohol affect your liver?

Medical specialist gastroenterologist and hepatologist Dr Barbara Makumbi, who has an interest in liver disease, shared with Briefly News that worldwide, particularly in Africa, alcohol is one of the leading causes of both acute and chronic liver disease.

"In women, the consumption of more than two units of alcohol a day (and in men, more than three units a day) puts an individual at risk of liver disease. A unit of alcohol is defined according to the alcohol content of the beverage."

The doctor notes that the liver will accumulate fat within its cells, called hepatic steatosis or fatty liver.

"There are stages of this disease ranging from earlier stages of inflammation to later end stages of cirrhosis."
