Why does the liver end up being 'hurt' by all types of different poisons and how?

*****THE HUMAN BODY HAS A "FILTER"*****THINK OF YOUR LIVER AS A "FILTER" for your body. Everything that you ingest, goes through your liver before it leaves your body in the form of waste. Medications, alcohol, vitamins, poisons, etc... ALL pass through the "filter" (your liver). If you drink alcohol over a long period of time, it takes it's toll on your liver, like a filter that is overworked. Same thing if you take medications, even Tylenol, or just about anything in large quantities over a period of time, it taxes or overworks your liver, and the liver can become damaged and inflamed. Cirrhosis is one type of inflammation of the liver, caused by too much alcohol. Alcohol mixed with medication also can overwork the liver, causing damage. Tylenol bottles now carry a warning label about mixing alcohol and Tylenol. They have found cases of liver damage and even liver failure when the two are mixed, in medium to large doses. So poison is not the only thing that can "hurt" your liver. It is only one extreme example of what can hurt your liver.
