Could Sharp Pain In The Ribs Along With Constipation Be Related To Liver Disorders?

Every so often, I get a sharp, intense burning pain on my mid, right side, below my ribs. It only lasts a few seconds, but happens about 3 times in a short period of time. I do drink alcohol, but not everyday. (weekends or socially) I do notice the pain the following day after I drink wine. Maybe 2 glasses. Not sure if related or coincidence. I also am constipated or go very minimal frequently. Just curious if this is my liver? no fever or other symptoms. (45 yr -female)

I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some liver disease. Specially if pain is precipitated after drinking of alcohol so it suggest some liver problems. Ypu should go for complete liver function test and ultrasound abdomen. It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
