Core Tip	Alcohol use disorders have been defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5. Excessive alcohol intake can lead to damage of various organs, including the liver, and can induce complex psychiatric and somatic comorbidities. Alcoholic liver disease includes different injuries ranging from steatosis to cirrhosis and implicates a diagnostic assessment of the liver disease and of its possible complications. The assessment of previous alcohol consumption and the non-invasive evaluation of liver fibrosis are areas of growing interest in this field.
