Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a prevalent public health challenge currently. Alcohol-associated liver disease, the commonest end-organ damage, is increasing at an alarming rate. It is currently the leading cause worldwide of hospitalization, liver transplantation, and death from cirrhosis of the liver.
