Suggest Treatment For Upper Abdominal Pain And Back Pain

I am a regular drinker for the past 10 years. Recently in this year whenever I consume more alcohol, I get severe back pain particularly in the centre & upper right & shoulder and right side of upper abdomen. This was not happening previously even if I consumed more alcohol. I had done LFT & Abdominal & Pelvic Ultrasound. Both the reports were normal. What could be the reason of my back pain? Please tell me if I have to do any additional tests.
