Liver cysts can be caused from a number of factors. Your best line of defense is to limit your alcohol intake and decrease any animal fat in your diet. Monitor the cyst with annual or biannual ultrasounds. Your gastroenterologist will be a great source of information regarding this.
No, alcohol does not cause liver cyst. A small isolated cyst is usually completely benign. Can follow with serial imaging.
