Fatty liver: It depends on how bad your liver is. An eval would be necessary and futher advice can be given. See a gastroenterologist.

No: Fatty liver can be caused by alcohol consumption. Non- alcoholic fatty liver disease is a result of obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol and in some patients genetic propensity. The safety of alcohol consumption in those with nafld ( non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) will depend on the extent of existing liver damage. Liver damage can be determined by a liver biopsy.

Incorrect: The answer by dr. Mubarak is simply not correct. About 10-15% have fatty liver, and in the great majority a beer every once in a while is safe. Again, cases vary dramatically and you should see a liver specialist.
