Best Answer

Alcohol eats away at your organs which will then damage the liver. Alcohol should not be a "oh lets go party" drink, you should only be drinking to drink it not to get drunk and want to party. The more alcohol you drink the more your liver is going to be ate away at. With out your liver, it will be the end of you :(

What are the effects of alcohol on a previously damaged liver?

Alcohol can have negative consequences for the liver, particularly a liver that has been previously damaged.Since the liver is responsible for metabolizing alcohol, forcing it to metabolize alcohol further is like asking someone who is nearly blind to read a small sign at a distance--difficult to do.Liver problems associated with chronic alcohol consumption include:1. Fatty liver- alcohol causes the accumulation of fat in the liver cells. Most liver cells die as a result of fat being stored in them2. Hepatitis- inflammation of the liver from the use of alcohol, which can result in liver failure3. Cirrhosis of the liver- alcohol kills liver cells. It causes the development of scar tissues on the liver, leading to liver failure.

How long to repair a liver from alcohol?
