\"At one point in the film, Spurlock gets some startling news from his doctor: He has liver damage. The physician tells him fast food is "pickling\" his liver," and that his liver looks like "an alcoholic\'s after a binge." The suggestion that fast food could be harmful to your liver is one of Super Size Me\'s more eye-opening moments.\
\
But the filmmaker left out an important detail that puts this diagnosis in a different light. Spurlock claims to be in good health at the beginning of the movie, and denies alcohol use to his doctor in his initial checkup. But in a 2017 social media post addressing sexual harassment allegations made against him, Spurlock wrote that he had been "consistently drinking since the age of 13" and "\[hadn\'t\] been sober for more than a week in 30 years." \"\
