That is wrong. Alcohol is a fermented sugar, and the liver converts this into fat. Alcohol itself is NOT a fat, the liver metabolises alcohol into a fat. Also worth looking into is the metabolism of fructose, the liver has as hard time processing this as it does alcohol, and metabolises it virtually the same way as it metabolises alcohol. Fructose is readily available in anything that has sugar, and most of the world doesn’t realise that it is almost as bad as alcohol for the liver. Fructose is also highly addictive.

Don’t believe me, I’m a computer programmer who was diagnosed with fatty liver, just search for “Robert Lustig” “Sugar the Bitter truth” on youtube. He convinced me he knows what he is talking about.

When my doctor diagnosed me with fatty liver , he kept grilling me over my alcohol consumption, which wasn’t much . He near enough told me that I was a liar, which I wasn’t. He didn’t ask me how much sugary drinks, fruit juice, and sugar laden food I ate, to which I’d have said “quite a lot”. So yes I have NAFLD, which really is no different to FLD, the causitive agent just hasn’t been fermented in NAFLD.

Also my Fructose consumption almost certainly caused my gout.
