ABSTRACT
With the discovery of direct-acting antivirals and the prospective of viral hepatitis becoming curable, alcohol liver disease (ALD) is
back to primetime. In the last 20 years, there have been many advances in the understanding of the biology, the psychology and the
social and environmental factors associated with this long-known medical problem. Recent information about regional, ethnic, cultural
and genetic factors seem to be relevant for the Latin American (LA) population. New approaches based on the new concepts and
current information will render better results in the overall management of patients with this problem. Considering alcohol use disorder
and ALD as part of the same entity managing it in a multidisciplinary approach seems to be best way to deal with this disease.
