Alcoholic liver disease is a progressive condition caused by long-term alcohol consumption. It leads to inflammation, damage to liver cells, and eventually scarring of the liver. The severity of the disease is influenced by the duration and amount of alcohol intake, as well as individual genetic predispositions and lifestyle choices.

Understanding how this disease progresses is essential for preventing irreversible damage. The condition typically advances through several stages, starting with fatty liver, progressing to alcoholic hepatitis, and ultimately reaching cirrhosis, which can result in liver failure
