It really is. It is essentially a broad term for any drinking of alcohol that results in mental or physical health problems
What are the success rates for people trying to quit?  Is there any hope?

I suppose liver damage is also a risk?
For sure. Also affects the brain, heart, pancreas, and immune system.

It can but it really depends on how much damage they did.
I guess, the sooner one quits, the better?
