What happens if you have liver cancer an you drink alcohol?
Surprisingly, liver cancer is more likely to occur after a long-time alcohol abuser stops drinking. That's because as the liver quickly re-grows, malignant cells are more likely to develop.

What is a good encyclical about alcohol abuse?
There are none.
Inasmuch as this is an illness and not a separate moral issue per se, the Holy See has not addressed it much.
Its abuse is mentioned in the Catechism of the Catholic Church under "Respect for health". Paragraph CCC 2290 and 2291 state: 2290 The virtue of temperance disposes us to avoid every kind of excess: the abuse of food, alcohol, tobacco, or medicine. Those incur grave guilt who, by drunkenness or a love of speed, endanger their own and others' safety on the road, at sea, or in the air.
2291 The use of drugs inflicts very grave damage on human health and life. Their use, except on strictly therapeutic grounds, is a grave offense. Clandestine production of and trafficking in drugs are scandalous practices. They constitute direct co-operation in evil, since they encourage people to practices gravely contrary to the moral law.
To abuse alcohol is a sin. If there is a condition that predisposes one to abuse alcohol, that condition is not intrinsically sinful; rather, it is the abuse that is sinful. In fact, if there is a biological reason why someone is strongly predisposed to abuse alcohol, that could reduce the guilt of the alcoholic.
The Church makes a strict distinction between an inclination to sin and the sin itself. For example, homosexuality is not considered a sin by the church (if by "homosexuality" you mean attraction to or strong sexual desire for members of the same sex). However, she does condemn homosexual behavior. So someone who is attracted to members of the same sex, and yet does not act on those desires, does not sin. Similarly, someone with alcoholism who desires a drink or knows they are prone to abuse alcohol yet does not drink or abuse alcohol, does not sin.

Can hypnosis help with alcoholism?
Hypnosis can be used as a complementary approach in treating alcoholism by targeting underlying psychological issues or promoting behavior change. While there is some evidence supporting its effectiveness, it is typically used in conjunction with other treatments such as therapy and support groups for best results. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice on how hypnosis can be integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan.
How does alcoholism affect a persons health?
It's been my experience that if you have 100 people, you'll wind up with 100 types of alcoholism. However, it is essential to understand that drinking alcohol is not synonomous with alcoholism. Only a small fraction of drinkers are alcoholics. When we're talking about behavior under the influence of intoxicants, we have to talk about brain chemistry. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and tends to impair judgment first before anything else. When people drink they generally do things they wouldn't had they not been drinking (loss of control) and you'll see over a period of time that people will exhibit various manifestations of behavior as a result of being affected by the chemicals they use.
When we talk about addiction we have to talk about craving - no craving, no addiction. If you look at someone who has a label of dependence, you'll generally find a change in personality...as alcohol first affects judgment, people generally don't have an idea that their behavior is inappropriate at the time.
