Alcohol wonât solve any of your problems but it will cause others. Alcohol damages the liver, stomach, nerves... and causes psychiatric disorders. The pain you feel in your lower right ribs might be an alert to liver damage. You can visit your doctor and request blood laboratory analyses (blood picture, sedimentation and liver status-AST,ALT,bilirubin,fibrinogen,choles
terol), as well as an ultrasound examination to identify the reason for your pain and check on the health of your organs. You can also visit a mental health professional for the treatment of alcohol-abuse.
