Alcohol is a poison that can kill you in high enough doses by causing parts of your body to shut down (like the parts of your brain responsible telling your heart to beat). Your liver helps keep you from dying by turning alcohol into other stuff that is less poisonous, then eventually organs like your kidneys can remove that stuff from the body. However, even the less poisonous stuff is bad for your liver in high enough concentration, so over long periods of time your liver gets more and more damaged. Eventually your liver can’t do its regular day-to-day job of processing other toxic byproducts of your body’s systems, and so you start to get poisoned by your own body’s waste.
