A guess: If you drink heavily, you are prone to toxic hepatitis or pancreatitis. You may have had a mild case of one of these that did not show up in the lab tests. It could be something unrelated to your alcohol consumption. As long as you are getting better with the normal lab test you mention, I would not worry about it. If your pain worsens, I would see a doctor, again.
