What are the causes of alcoholic fatty liver?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I have always disliked drinking beer when I was young, and the more I drank, the more I disliked it. Last week, I was thoroughly examined by the hospital and found to have fatty liver disease. I'm not very familiar with the specific symptoms of fatty liver disease. Could you tell me about it?

Doctor's answer:
