People in Cornwall are twice as likely to be admitted to hospital with alcoholic liver disease. The county's figures are double the national average.
Torbay and Plymouth also have higher rates of hospital admissions for liver problems.
The Department of Health said it was committed to tackling the underlying causes of liver disease through taxes on alcohol, a childhood obesity plan and free screening.
But the South West's leading liver specialist has warned of an increasing number of people with the disease and called for more support to prevent it.

A 21-year-old man has been awarded £165,000 in compensation and costs from Cornwall Council in an out-of-court settlement under claims of educational neglect.
Andrew Evans, from Par, claimed that, while a pupil at Fowey Primary School, he had received an inadequate education.
He is on the autistic spectrum and was given a Special Educational Needs and Disability Statement which he alleged was never acted upon between 2006 and 2007.
His allegations also involved assault and unlawful exclusion.
Fowey Primary School said it didn't comment on individual historic cases.
Cornwall Council said it had recently undertaken a review of provision and special educational needs assessment and support, and there was also a children and young people's autism strategy that set out priorities and how they were being addressed.
