For instance, such drinking can lead to significant damage to the liver. Initially, it can cause inflammation of the liver known as acute alcoholic hepatitis. But over time, it can lead to cirrhosis, which can cause liver cancer, liver failure and death, said Jamile’ Wakim-Fleming, director of the Fatty Liver Disease Program at Cleveland Clinic.
