Excessive alcohol consumption is a common cause of steatorrhea. While there are studies that show some benefits of alcohol consumption, these studies never show any good coming from the excessive use of alcohol. A glass of wine each day may be beneficial but certainly not two bottles. In addition to other problems, alcohol does harm the kidneys and the liver and their lack of healthy function will cause steatorrhea.
