Abstract	Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a progressive condition resulting from chronic and excessive alcohol consumption, leading to liver cell damage. Although the liver is the primary site for alcohol oxidation, a small amount is also metabolized in the stomach. Ethanol metabolism primarily produces acetaldehyde, a toxic byproduct responsible for symptoms such as facial flushing, headaches, nausea, and increased heart rate, all of which contribute to the development of ALD. The risk of developing ALD varies among individuals, but it generally increases with alcohol intake beyond certain thresholds: more than two standard drinks per day for men and more than one standard drink per day for women. Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) can progress to fibrosis and cirrhosis, potentially leading to liver infection. The prevalence of ALD fluctuates over time and varies by region due to factors such as alcohol consumption patterns, healthcare accessibility, and public health initiatives. ALD poses a significant global health challenge, highlighting the need for increased awareness about the dangers of excessive alcohol consumption and the promotion of responsible drinking practices. Medical guidance and support are essential in educating individuals about the risks of overconsumption. According to the latest surveillance report from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, liver cirrhosis ranked as the 12th leading cause of death in the United States in 2007, with 29,925 deaths, nearly 48% of which were alcohol-related.
