An
association between liver disease and heavy alcohol consumption was recognized
more than 200 years ago (Smart et al., 2003)
long-term heavy alcohol use is the most prevalent ingle cause of illness and
death from liver disease in the world. As alcohol is broken-down in the liver,
a new number of potentially dangerous by-product are generated, such as
acetaldehyde and highly reactive molecules called free radicals. Perhaps more
so than alcohol itself, these products contribute to alcohol induce liver
damage (National Center for Health Statistics, 2009).

A
large proportion of heavy drinkers develops serious alcohol liver disease
susceptibility to alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis appears to be influenced by
heredity, gender, diet and co-occuring liver illness. Most alcoholic liver
damage is attributed to alcohol metabolism. Exposure to liver cells to bacteria
toxins may contribute to liver disease. Escalating liver injury can lead to
