P7 – Alcohol and Our Liver – Results after one week!

Well…it is safe to say that all types of alcohol have now had a massive impact on all of the cuts of liver.  Each liver has started to rot and decompose.  Veins have burst and some of the cuts have swelled in size and look puffy whilst other cuts have shrivelled and become blackened and bruised.

None of the livers are healthy anymore and the smell from all of them is disgusting!!  So disgusting in fact that we had to vacate our classroom and conduct our experiment in the fresh air in the hope that it would help to disperse the smell.

This may come as a shock but the liver that has been the most badly damaged was the one that was submerged in the Alcopop – a Blue Wicked.  The Blue Wicked liver has almost fully decomposed and had become sludge like.  This surprised us as we thought that the alcohol wouldn’t have had such as big impact – especially because it looked so bright and colourful when packaged.
