Alcohol- induced cirrhosis is usually caused by many years of heavy drinking. There is no specific amount of alcohol that will cause cirrhosis, the amounts that cause liver damage are different from person to person. It doesn't only affect people who are addicted to alcohol. If you're a heavy social drinker or binge drinker you also have a bigger chance of getting cirrhosis.
