thanks for your query.
you have not mentioned your period of drinking that is from how long how many years ??
as u said u r taking large amounts and pain over right side that could b fatty liver not exactly be cirrhosis..
i think u r symptoms of heart burn and nausea says the erosion of the esophagus .make sure of your liver enzymes which will be raised in liver disease.

have endoscopy done to exclude varices.
consult your nearby gastroenterologist.
I find this answer helpful
