Picture 1: Healthy liver
Picture 2: Liver damaged by alcohol, where healthy tissue is replaced with useless tissue.
Everytime, your liver filters alcohol, some liver cells die and are replaced by useless tissue
If you have too much useless tissue, it can lead to liver failure.
Normally, your liver regenerates itself, but if the rate of damage is more than how quickly it can replace itself, it gets replaced with fibrous tissue.
The more fibrous tissue in the liver, the less it can function. Liver failure.
