The only complete restrictions are having HIV/AIDS, or having CJD (mad cow disease). Anyone else is always considered. If you require a liver transplant for alcoholic liver disease, there are strict requirements that you have to fit (including being able to prove that you have not drunk alcohol for 6 months etc...). There is a fairly strict screening process for having transplants, including a psychological evaluation - this evaluates whether you can cope with the concept of having a transplant and whether you have a realistic expectation of life afterwards. You also have to show that you are capable of complying with the drug regime necessary after transplant.
