The three leading causes of livers being destroyed are Acetaminophen, poison mushroom, and exposure to some hydrocarbon solvents.

“No the leading cause of liver destruction in ethyl alcohol ingestion.”
That is an assumption. Facts belie that point...
Alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver cannot occur unless there are unsaturated oils (corn oil, soy oil, canola oil, etc) in the diet. These are the ones ‘they’ tell us are the ‘essential Omega 6 oils’. Yes they are essential if you want to allow cirrhosis to develop. Replace these with coconut oil for health.
And even alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver can be reversed, and the liver can be regenerated, by the use of Alpha Lipoic Acid, Silymarin (Milk Thistle Extract) and Selenium. Many livers were regenerated, and transplant not needed by use of this triple antioxidant therapy. And alpha lipoic acid alone was successful.
