I am not an infectious disease or liver expert, but in general the liver is one of the stoutest organs in the body. With enough injury, it can permanently scar (that's what cirrhosis is), but it's got a tremendous regenerative ability. And IIRC, all you need is for 20% of your liver to function to lead a normal lifestyle. So unless you've been told that you incurred some permanent liver damage back in your 30s (and you'd likely know because your PCP will have checked your liver function panel with your annual physical blood work), it's unlikely your extended hangover from a one-time event of debauchery is related to the CMV you fought off years ago. If you really want to check, get a liver function panel.

Hope you feel better soon.
