Go to a Dr. they will can run blood tests that will check your liver. I believe that if the ALT and AST levels are high that means that there might be something wrong with your liver. The same thing was happening to me. And I did not even drink often.(maybe when I was younger :) ).Some peoples organs are just not as strong as others? Also simple things like Tylenol could cause an increase so don't take anything like that before your blood test. I was told I had a fatty liver. (Doesn't mean your fat) It is just your liver is not working as a healthy liver. So I have had to cut down on trans fats.. and not drink (sorry ! ) I am okay with that though.. Also, I have been told that Milk Thistle and Niacin help detoxify your liver. Although, since I occasionally still feel the pain I am bothering my Dr. to give me a sonogram if that area.. because somehow it seems they tell you what you have just based off of blood tests and seems to act like I exaggerate my pain. But it is excrutiating when it has happened. Good luck.. and take care of your body because only you know what you really feel.

LOL, you need to get your liver checked out then? by a doctorr? if you drink too much than ultimately you need to change

well your liver is an organ that helps detoxify your system so in other words, your liver gets rid of the alcohol, maybe your liver is having a hard time trying to detoxify the hard alcohol you consume.

can you really feel your liver??? weird.

Your screwed

na...It's not your liver hurting from alcohol. maybe something else-gallbladder. Maybe GI irritation. I dunno.

Maybe its trying to tell you something

Liver does not have nerves so it does not feel pain.
It could very possible be your stomac.
Hard drinkers mostly ends up have
gastric perforation.
It could be just nerves too.
I recommend you to have a examination for
the cause and get treatment ASAP.

I ain't no doctor man!! But it's better you see a doctor. It could be CIRRHOSIS. I HOPE IT IS NOT!! GOOD LUCK!!

U btter "go on the wagon" for awhile and get a check up bc u could have Hep. C and u sure don't wanna be drinking with that/!!!!!!!!!!!! Have u turned yellow yet? Like ur eyes? Stop the drinking dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
