Neuroplasticity or brain plasticity refers to the way that changes in neural pathways and synapses allow one part of the brain to "take over" damaged areas of the brain. It also refers to the brain's general ability to change as we age for both better and worse.

Do alcoholic brain cells grow back?
Brain cells, damaged for whatever reasons, do not regenerate. However, the brain has the capacity to re-route its neural networks to make up for lost functions if the damage is not too severe. Most alcoholics who get into recovery early and stick with it do eventually regain most of their mental function. Beyond a certain point, however, irreversible brain damage (known as "wet brain") occurs, and full functioning can never be regained.
Does one part of the brain completely take over when another part is damaged?
The brain is plastic but usually not in the way that is described in the question. A damaged part of the brain remains damaged and healthy parts of the brain usually cannot completely take on the duties of the damaged part since it has its own duties to take care of. However when a body part is damaged (e.g. a person's eyes are blinded by external means), the part of the brain that is usually responsible for processing information from that body part can be repurposed to perform another, though still similar, action (e.g. the vision cortex of the blinded person will be repurposed to process hearing information).
