Chronic diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure can be dangerous for the liver.  In diabetes, the body does not produce or use insulin properly, leading to elevated blood sugar levels.  Too much sugar does not work in a balanced way to store fat in the liver, causing fatty compounds to build up in the liver that harm healthy liver function.

In people with high blood pressure, the blood pressure puts more strain on toxins in the liver, putting them at risk for liver failure as well as heart disease and stroke.

 In addition, there may be some other causes of liver disease in non-drinkers, such as viral infections, defective metal metabolism, autoimmune diseases, but also seen in alcoholics.

Infections caused by other bacteria, diseases such as fatty liver or hepatitis, etc., despite not consuming alcohol.

 Alcohol is a stimulant and can cause liver damage if consumed in excess.  The liver metabolizes alcohol to produce acidic substances that damage the liver.  In addition, excessive alcohol consumption leads to accumulation of fat in the liver, which can lead to fatty liver.
