Heavy and abusive alcohol consumption over a period of many years, typically decades, is one of the causes of alcohol cirrhosis (along with hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus). It is the liver cirrhosis itself that is one of the risk factors for liver cancer.
It is somewhat unusual for an actively drinking alcoholic to develop liver cancer. What happens is that when the drinking is stopped, the liver cells try to heal by regenerating (reproducing). It is during this active regeneration that a cancer-producing genetic change (mutation) can occur, which explains the occurrence of liver cancer after the drinking has been stopped.
