Hello and hope you are doing well.

Alcohol can affect the liver and cause fatty liver changes known as Alcoholic fatty liver disease and the other one is Non alcoholic fatty liver disease, which is due to obesity, diabetes and high triglyceride levels. This can progress to cirrhosis of the liver and can be associated with hepatocellular carcinoma. So, prevention or cure is by avoiding alcohol and treating diabetes, obesity and high triglyceride levels. So, the first step is avoidance of alcohol.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
