Hello,
I recently had a conversation with someone who claimed that liver cirrhosis is a disease that exclusively affects heavy drinkers. It's a common question that everybody with liver problems gets asked. However, this is not the case. Even people who have never tasted alcohol in their lifetimes can develop liver problems. This was something I was looking for while doing research for my assignment. I came across a flyer which said this condition in which individuals get diagnosed with liver damage without the intake of alcohol or any other types of drugs is called "Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease or otherwise in some cases "Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis" (NASH)" which in long term can further develop into liver cancer or liver cirrhosis. This means, there can be several reasons why someone gets liver diseases including obesity, hepatitis B and C, and diabetes.
Below is a picture that I found in which the stages of liver damages can occur.
