Liver pain.: Yes, problems with your liver can cause pain - stretching of the capsule surrounding the liver from inflammation is an example.  Liver hemangiomas (can also cause pain, but many of them cause no symptoms.  In cases where the pain is directly attributable to  the hemangioma, surgical removal can be considered.

Some folks drink a lot and never get cirrhosis, others can't.  If you have true liver cancer (a tumor that starts in the liver) in your family, you could be prone to liver damage in a number of ways so stay clear of drugs and alcohol.
