Head ache is not the cause of liver damage. constant and continuous drink for years produces liver damage and cirrhosis of liver. In your case the cause for head ache is you have migrain. Because of dilatation of cerebral vessels. you get headache.Take treatment for migrain like ergotamine and amlotriptan tablets when you get head ache.
