Q: Stomach Pain..alcohol, Liver, Ulcer?!?!

Here is some backround info on myself, I am 19 years old and in college. Last year was my freshman year and I would go out and drink every thursday and saturday night, sometimes Fridays as well. Some nights I would have a lot to drink (probably more then I should)...I would never get hangovers. When I left school in May to go home for the summer I got a job where I was always working and rarely had time for anything else which means I rarely drank this summer. This summer about a week before I left we had a birthday party for one of my friends where we were all drinking, I had a good amount to drink..but I remember the whole night and didn't get sick or anything. The next day I woke up with the worst stomach ache which didn't go away until about 4 the next day. I didn't really think anything of it because I figure hey maybe I'm just hungover (even tho that rarely happened)...anyways now I get back to school the first week I drank quite a few times in the beginning of the week and then I was fine, then comes Thursday and I woke up Friday morning and I had a really bad stomach ache again I thought oh maybe I just drank too much and it eventually went away later on Friday. I didn't drink at all that weekend and didn't drink again until Thursday..when yet again I woke up on Friday with another really bad stomach ache and this one lasted for a while... all weekend I didn't feel well until Sunday Morning. I had some pretty bad allergies this weekend so I thought maybe it was just that.


(IMPORTANT PART) I've had a stomach ache since Friday morning. I drank thursday night so I thought maybe it was just a hangover but it still hurts, not nearly as bad as it did Friday morning. Also I did go out and drink on friday night because I thought I was feeling better, but I didnt have that much to drink. I've also felt kinda bloated. I'm really scared that something is wrong with my liver or I have an ulcer?..Sometimes i get some discomfot under my right rib and on my back on the right side. Its not even that it hurts or even that uncomfortable.. its I can kinda feel something there. I went to the health center today and they didn't really do much.. he thought maybe I had a pulled muscle and gave me a heating pad and some allergy medicine. I really think it's something more serious though.
I just never got hangovers last year so I'm really confused...do you think it has something to do with I didn't really drink this summer.. also I lost about 15 pounds this summer, would that have anything to do with it?
Sorry this is so long I just wanted to get all the information out there.
Thanks!!
