>(which kind of injury btw? a car accident?)

Probably the most common non-cancerous injury from alcohol is cirrhosis of the liver.

Would you call that an "injury", and not a disease?

I'm not a medical researcher, so what exactly I would call it isn't too important. But you could describe the fibrosis which leads to cirrhosis as a direct "injury" from alcohol use.
