The liver is the filter of the body so basically anything that is harmful to it if you're talking wear and tear. However, if you're talking about actual damage, not just overworking it, alcohol is by far the worst. most substances need permission to enter into your cells and the few that can pass straight in are all good. all except for Ethanol, which is the key element in alcohol. It passes straight into the cells of anything it touches and basically does as much damage as it can and since your body doesn't want it, it sends it to the liver to get rid of it. That's where all of the damage is done.
Fun Fact: getting drunk is fun because the ethanol passes into your brain cells and while the cells are dying, they release a toxic gas into your head. That's what gives you that loopy feeling.
