Trying to Die: I am sorry, but treating your body with such disrespect is just not acceptable. Even without the alcohol you are at risk of liver failure with 'fatty' liver'. Drinking heavily can only work against your health and your chance to survive. Please go to an alcohol treatment center today. Please stop drinking today. Please get help in real time today.

Stop alcohol : A fatty liver on a ct scan indicates early stages of liver disease that can progress to cirrhosis if alcohol or medications that harm the liver are consumed. The best possible outcome would result from stopping alcohol consumption.

Yes u can revert: If liver biopsy shows fatty liver u should not drink. Fatty liver also requires low 25 to 50 gm fat per day and low carb diet. Treat cholesterol if its high. Exercise and reduce weight if overweight.
