alcohol, liver function and bad colesterol

Alcohol, liver function, and cholesterol

I lost 25 lbs. at the beginning of 2005, and kept it off for almost
the entire year, then through 2006 I've become used to a lot of drinks
while I study or socialize in business. In the last year I've become
a huge consumer of alcohol. A LOT. Although I don't eat red meat
(maybe once a month in a hamburger), I find I've gained 35 pounds.

Can anyone provide some links, data, or advice, about alcohol, the
liver, fat and high cholesterol? even though I don't EAT a lot of
saturated fat, could the introduction of something that chemically
makes the liver work harder make the fat in the blood higher? I've
been told "no"? only a blood test would tell? but, I cannot believe
that just a simple carbohydrate like sugar from alcohol would cause
this "huge fluff'? I don't "feel" sick?

???? any response if appreciated
