Not likely: Although liver disease can increase the risk of gallstone development, it is unlikely given you age and symptoms that this is a gallbladder problem. The fact that you recognize that you have an alcohol problem though is important - continued alcoholic liver disease can cause a lot more serious issues than gallbladder problems, including pancreatitis, liver failure, heart problems. See your md.

DOUBTFUL: Frequent and urgent urination can be a sign of urinary tract infection or kidney stone, but is not indicative of gallbladder disease. Except for the volume of alcoholic fluid ingested, being an alcoholic is not particularly relevant. See your doctor. Good luck.
