hi
welcome to HCM
considering brusies one can suspect possibility of blood coagulopathy, common is alcoholism.
Ulcers are possibles.
however the quantity and duration of alcoholism needs to be considered.
Acute liver injury can be suspected.
My advice
1) stop alcohol
2) compete liver function test, ultrasonography abdomen.
3) thiamine supplement and glucose intake
4) urgent gastroenterologist consultation
regards
