Unhealthy alcohol consumption is a global health problem. Individual and public health, and socioeconomic consequences are attributable to harmful alcohol use. Epidemiological studies have shown that alcohol use disorder (AUD) and alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) are the top two pathologies among alcohol-related diseases. Consistent with the major role that the liver plays in alcohol metabolism, uncontrolled drinking may cause significant damage to the liver. This damage is initiated with excessive fat accumulation in the liver, which can further progress to advanced liver disease. The only effective therapeutic strategies currently available for ALD are alcohol abstinence or liver transplantation. Any molecule with dual pronged effects at the central and peripheral organs controlling addictive behaviors and associated metabolic pathways could be a promising therapeutic target to treat AUD and ALD. Ghrelin, a hormone primarily derived from the stomach, has such properties and regulates both behavioral and metabolic functions. In this review, we highlight recent advances in understanding the peripheral and central functions of the ghrelin system and its role in AUD and ALD pathogenesis. We first discuss the correlation between blood ghrelin concentrations and alcohol use or abstinence. Next, we discuss the role of ghrelin in alcohol-seeking behaviors, and finally its role in development of fatty liver by metabolic regulations and organ-crosstalk. We propose that understanding the ghrelin system may open an innovative avenue for improved treatments for AUD and associated medical consequences, including ALD.
