Ok sir i got your point but just one last question i need to ask.
Till now i only used to have beer because it has low alcohol content in it and i was absolutely fine but suddenly in my uncles marraige last week i had couple of pegs of hard liquor and since then sometimes i am feeling pain in my upper right side above abdomen after i eat food. So i just need to know what is the reason for this and what should i do? Also can i continue with beer as i only drink beer once in a week and till now i was absolutely fine untill i was having beer.
Also i must tell you that since last 1 yr i was frequently carrying out my liver tests in between and the reports where positive and healthy even when i was drinking beer.

Brief Answer:
It could be due to Gastritis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Pain could be due to Gastritis. I prescribe Tablet Rabeprazole 20mg before food to my patients with similar complaints. If there is no response, you should get an Ultrasound abdomen and rule out Liver disease.
As you had previous Liver disease,it's better to stop beer,even weekly.It is harmful to Pancreas and Stomach too.
Hope I answered your query.
