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)
