Core Tip	Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) has become one of the leading indications for liver transplantation (LT) over the last twenty years. In the context of scarcity of organs, the excellent survival and compliance rates of LT for ALD make this a favorable procedure. However, there are considerable relapse rates, which can have dire consequences, such as graft loss and death. Other issues have also emerged: increased risk of malignancy, concomitant hepatitis C virus infection, and LT for alcoholic hepatitis. This review will first discuss the highly controversial history of LT for ALD and then focus on the main questions that remain unanswered in 2015.
