Slowly over time the alcohol kills your liver cells. If you aren't addicted and drink it, let's say once a year, then you can easily gain those cells back. But if you drink daily, your cells keep dying and dying until there's no more left. The more you drink the faster your liver cells die, so unless you drink alcohol very rarely then potentially, yes it will kill you.
