Is kava worse for the liver than alcohol?

Could you elaborate on the potential risks associated with Kava compared to alcohol consumption for liver health? It's often said that alcohol can have adverse effects on the liver, but is Kava truly more damaging? I'm particularly interested in understanding the scientific evidence behind such claims, if any exist. Could you highlight the key factors that contribute to the liver toxicity of Kava, if any, and how it compares to alcohol's impact? Additionally, are there any studies or clinical trials that have investigated this comparison, and what were their key findings? Thank you for your insights on this matter.
