Does excess drinking often cause liver or kidney failure?
Chronic liver failure usually occurs in the context of cirrhosis, itself potentially the result of many possible causes, such as excessive alcohol intake, hepatitis B or C, autoimmune, hereditary and metabolic causes (such as iron or copper overload, Steatohepatitis or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease).

About Kidney Failure
Kidney or Renal Failure is when your kidneys are no longer functioning to remove waste chemicals and toxins from the blood stream. Kidney failure is typically detected by elevated creatinine levels, abnormal fluid levels in the body, deranged acid levels, abnormal levels of potassium, calcium or phosphate which can lead to anemia. There could also be blood or protein loss through urine. If not treated, renal failure can be fatal.
About Liver Disease
Liver Disease is a blanket term describing any number of diseases that affect the liver. They include hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, cancer, and primary biliary cirrhosis. Many liver diseases are accompanied by jaundice and an increased level of bilirubin, which results from the breakup of hemoglobin of dead red blood cells. Normally the liver removes bilirubin and excretes it through bile.
