The liver has amazing regenerative abilities, but scarring is just too much for it to handle, why is that?

Since this is ELI5 I’ll make a Lego comparison
Legos are pretty strong, if you play with them normally or even throw them around a bit theyll still be okay. However if you bash your Legos on the table for years they’ll probably develop irreversible bumps and dents in them, but still kinda work as Legos a while longer
That’s like your liver, it can handle a normal amount of alcohol and use just fine, but if you’re pushing it to it’s limit excessively it’ll start to irreversibly wear down as it just can’t keep up and has to make do
