I've heard that if I drink alcohol regularly I'll get liver disease. Is this true?

No, you can drink alcohol without getting liver disease. In fact, drinking small amounts of alcohol is associated with a lower risk of death from any cause. The most common form of liver disease is called fatty liver disease, which is caused by too much fat in the liver and not enough healthy cells to process it. Drinking alcohol does not directly cause fatty liver disease, but it may make it worse if you already have it.
