Yes it can...but it more commonly causes liver disease and will spread to the kidneys.

Yes.

"Can alcohol hurt my kidneys?

Alcohol can hurt your kidneys because:

* It increases your chance of developing high blood pressure, which is a leading cause of kidney disease.
* If you have high blood pressure, alcohol can interfere with your medicines and make it harder to control your pressure. Uncontrolled or poorly controlled high blood pressure is more likely to damage your kidneys."
