Brief Answer:
Yes
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Though he has stopped alcohol 5 years ago, he had been drinking alcohol for nearly 20 years and alcohol intake for this long a period can cause liver damage.
Though he stopped drinking 5 years ago, the damage would have been already done due to prolonged period of drinking.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
