Triglycerides (TG) are actually the fats which get deposited in the liver causing fatty streaks within the organ. Any fatty liver condition is associated with impaired fat breakdown. TGs are broken down and stored within the liver. When circulating levels of TGs surpass the livers ability to break them down they are just enter storage instead. This makes it easy to understand how chronic high TG levels can lead to a fatty liver.
Liver problems including hepatitis are easily detected by an ultrasound scan and liver enzymes (which are raised).

And stopping alcohol would be the first step to prevent any further damage to the liver.
