Is it scary to get alcoholic liver disease?

Patient's question:

Usually, I often go in to drink beer with friends and also often attend banquets, so I drink a lot of alcohol. After getting drunk and going to bed, I feel a particularly severe headache, and the area of my liver starts to hurt. After checking at the hospital, the doctor said it might be alcoholic liver disease. Is this contagious? What should I pay attention to when eating?

Doctor's answer:

Alcoholic liver disease is classified as mild to moderate. If it is severe alcoholic liver disease, it is very serious. Severe alcoholic liver disease can lead to cirrhosis of the liver or even liver cancer. The daily treatment for alcoholic liver disease mainly involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can take many oral medications, combined with various vitamins, and pay attention to regular routines, avoiding smoking and alcohol. It is hoped that alcoholic liver disease patients can recover as soon as possible! It is recommended to maintain a positive mindset and seek treatment at a formal hospital as soon as any discomfort arises.
