Too young to get liver disease from alcoholic unless you are stretching the truth.

Liver is usually quiet when it comes to pain. Before being scared best would be to abstain completely from alcohol use for few weeks and see if the pain goes away. That should answer the question if the pain is due to alcohol use.

Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it. It will destroy your brain cells, facilitate development of cancer in many organs, including breast, cause hepatitis, cirrhosis and pancreatitis etc. There is no safe level of alcohol intake. Quit while you are ahead.
