A member asked:

Whenever i drink alcohol the liver area starts to hurt also my stool turns very dark. this lasts for 2 days then it disappears. is this liver disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not: Sure. Similar history has been given by people with gastritis or those with complications of cirrhosis and who have GI varices. Abstinence till full ealuation is important. The dark likely represent GI bleeding
