As you had esophageal varieces and you were diagnosed with fatty liver now after stopping alcohol you have started so the same problem which you faced earlier may resurface again if you continue.
besides alcohol intake if chronic can lead to not only cumulative injury to liver but can lead in long run to ascities that means fluid accumulation in abdomen that may result from cirrhosis of liver.
It can also lead to alcohol induced gastritis that is quiet common

Better to withdraw the habit ASAP. thanks
