A member asked:

Very light upper-right ab pain after night of drinking. kidney/liver trouble ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Liver irritation: Most likely this is just irritation of your liver from the metabolic hit it took during your night of drinking (the liver metabolizes alcohol). As long as you don't make a regular habit of it, the symptoms should go away. Hope this helps!
