Wait, so if someone was ever an alcoholic - they gonna be denied? Even if they stopped drinking for many years?

In most places, if they've been clean for 6 - 12 months, they are no longer considered alcoholic in terms of transplantation. Similar to Canada

Notice that they never state she was an alcoholic. They also never atate she was a "high level" alcohol user. Just that she was an alcohol user.

You can make your own assumptions about her alcohol use, but in general these rules would also excluse a "normal" alcohol user with a congenital liver failure...
