Labs reassuring: Alcoholic cirrhosis can take many years to develop. A normal ultrasound and liver function tests means that your liver is healthy!! Your liver can detox itself very effectively because you are young. Your symptoms may be due to your liver working overtime, without actual liver damage. Make an effort to eat healthy foods, exercise regularly and avoid alcohol and you will likely feel much better.

May be other cause: There are many potential causes of your vague symptoms. If evaluation so far is negative then it is not likely related to your liver is the problem. Discuss the individual symptoms with your doctor. There are other possible causes
