If it has the word "disease" in it, you can die from it. Just use that as a general rule.
The liver is a vital part of the body, basic bodily functions are not able to be fulfilled without it. The liver is used to filter out parts of the blood that are not wanted, such as alcohol. A person who is drunk is experiencing an overloaded liver that cannot remove the alcohol before it reaches the brain.
Liver cancer has over 90% mortality rate.

∙ 11y agoHeavy and abusive alcohol consumption over a period of many years, typically decades, is one of the causes of alcohol cirrhosis (along with hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus). It is the liver cirrhosis itself that is one of the risk factors for liver cancer.
It is somewhat unusual for an actively drinking alcoholic to develop liver cancer. What happens is that when the drinking is stopped, the liver cells try to heal by regenerating (reproducing). It is during this active regeneration that a cancer-producing genetic change (mutation) can occur, which explains the occurrence of liver cancer after the drinking has been stopped.
I think so...i know that they are linked though.
