Welcome at HCM
i have gone through your query and being your doctor I completely understand your health concerns...
Based upon the history you have provided you have got alcoholic liver disease possibly alcoholic hepatitis... What about your liver function tests??
Serum albumin levels? Serum GGT and sgpt???
You should consult hepatologist regarding this so that you have been examined properly and relevant investigations can be done and appropriate treatment can be initiated timely...
Meanwhile decrease your intake of alcohol and consume healthy food..
Hope your query is adequately answered.
Stay safe
