Looking on the British Liver trust (http://www.britishlivertrust.org.uk/) website, I find:

Can my liver recover?
What happens depends on how badly your liver is damaged and on your general health...you can help your liver to recover by stopping or cutting down on your drinking.

There's also a case study:

Marianne’s storyMarianne leads a stressful life. At the age of 45 she is juggling two kids and a busy job. She is used to unwinding most nights of the week with a bottle of white wine that she shares with her husband (22.5 units a week). During a check up, her doctor noticed signs that her liver was notnormal and an ultrasound test showed a fatty liver. After three months without alcohol Marianne has lost weight and feels a lot healthier. Her liver has recovered and she is now able to have a drink, but never has more than 14 units in one week.

So...surely my 6 weeks off will do my liver some good?

PS - drinking a bottle of Sainsbury's own Bieres du flandres (those small bottles of beer that are about £3 for ten bottles). No wonder my liver's probably buggered at that price...Bottle of Blossom Hill chilling in the Fridge.
