Can a person get cirrhosis of the liver after 10 years of not drinking?
Yes. Drinking doesn't automatically cause cirrhosis and stopping drinking does not automatically prevent you from getting cirrhosis; ten year's down the line, your cirrhosis may not be alcohol related (there are many other potential causes of cirrhosis). Or, there is the possibility that up to ten year's ago your liver was damaged (i.e fibroid, from drinking) but the function "declined" further at a slow rate until it became noticeable. Had you remained drinking, the decline would probably have been faster. Once your liver is fibroid (the stage before cirrhosis), it is very difficult for it to regenerate itself at a rate faster than it is degrading. Hence why, in ten year's, it might be catching up with you.
How could cirrhosis be prevented?
Cirrhosis can be prevented by not drinking alcohol and taking care of yourself. Hepatitis C should be avoided as well, due to it being linked with cirrhosis.
