Can Drinking Cause Pain In Upper Abdomen?

I am having spasms in the upper right quadrant of my abdomen, its not painful but I'm a little concerned. I drink about a pint of vodka every other day or every 3 days. Could this be due to drinking or something else. I feel fine other wise. I had a jalapeno pizza last night also. That has been hurting my all day also.

Hi
The answer of your question is yes if you are taking alcohol for a long period means years .It takes years to damage liver the disease called cirrhosis of liver
I would advise
1-Blood for Liver Function Test
2-Ultrasoud Abdomen
Taking Pizza does not cause pain abdomen alone.It is always with vomiting and loose motion ,if it was unhygienic.
Thanks
