Not if you have Cirrhosis of the liver...but yes the liver can recover to a certain extent depending on the amount of damage.

In the early stages of fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis the damage can be arrested, the liver even improve if a person stops drinking.Severe hepatitis often kills. Severe cirrhosis is irreversible.Fatty deposits can advance and develop int hepatitis.

i'm afraid absolutely not.if you have consumed enough alcohol for long enough for the liver to be affected by cirrhosis it means the cells are dying.they can't just'come back to life'
