Alcohol can cause liver disease through excessive consumption over time. The gold standard test for diagnosing alcohol-related liver disease is a liver biopsy, though non-invasive options like fibroscan and ARFI tests are also used to measure liver stiffness and fibrosis. Managing alcohol-related liver disease involves treating any underlying alcohol use disorder and following a healthy lifestyle to avoid further liver damage.
