By holding too much gas and not let go, does it really hurt your bladder, liver or etc??

As werid as it way seem, everyone HAS to fart. No matter how gross and disgusting it may appear, everyone must fart (or burp) to relieve their bodies of gases. Otherwise, the gas will build up in the stomach, intestines or other parts of the digestive tract, and this is not at all healthy for one's internal system.
So, what you want to do to keep your innards working strong is let it all out...quite literally!!

Yes, it is healthy, unless someone pulls your finger too hard and injures you. :)
Seriously, if you really held "too much," it wouldn't be healthy. If all the gas accumulated with no where to go, the pressure would build up until something ruptured like an overinflated balloon. How much would be "too much" and how long that would take, I don't know, and fortunately we have a venting system to keep excess pressure in check.

Oprah says a healthy person farts about 8-13 times a day. Gross huh.

The average healthy person farts 14 times per day!

Believe it or not farting is good for you. Holding in toxic gas could cause problems down the road. Colon cancer for one. So get rid if it...

I think if you hold it in it just escapes a little bit at a time. It can't just disappear.

Farting can be very gratifying so go ahead and fart until your hearts content.

"Fart Proudly!", as that great American Benjamin Franklin wrote.
I don't think you'll hurt yourself by "holding it in", but surely it makes you uncomfortable?
