A member asked:

Should i be concerned about liver pain after drinking?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, because: it could be alcoholic hepatitis. Other causes such as gastritis can cause similar symptoms. Depending on amount of alcohol, your doctor would probably want to get blood tests for liver functions, so you should go and see your doctor.
