The time that a patient with alcoholic cirrhosis can survive is mainly determined by the stage of development of cirrhosis and whether there are serious complications. If the cirrhosis has reached the stage of decompensation and serious gastrointestinal bleeding occurs, it can be life-threatening at any time; if cirrhotic ascites occurs, the 5-year survival rate is about 50%; if liver cancer occurs, the survival time is about 1 year; if severe hepatic encephalopathy occurs, the survival time is about half a year. Patients with alcoholic cirrhosis also need to make adjustments in their lifestyle habits. If they have reached the stage of cirrhosis decompensation and still have not quit drinking and do not pay attention to rest, it is very easy to aggravate the process of cirrhosis and very easy to develop serious complications, leading to liver failure, and the survival time is usually 3 months to 6 months.
