Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a condition caused by excessive alcohol consumption that damages the liver. It encompasses a range of liver issues, from fatty liver, which is relatively mild, to more severe forms like alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis.

Symptoms can include jaundice, abdominal pain, and fatigue.

Early intervention through reducing alcohol intake and medical treatment can help manage and potentially reverse the damage, but severe cases may require more intensive care.
