Hi,

You need to get your liver function assessed as it appears that months of heavy alcohol intake has damaged your liver. Loss of appetite and weight loss are both common in liver disease. The stretch marks appear when rapid weight loss occurs and the skin does not get time to tone up. Please consult a doctor and get your blood tested for liver enzymes. Please avoid fatty foods and alcohol till then. Go for a balanced diet and try to ensure that you eat enough for your needs even though you may not have an appetite.

Hope this helps you. Best wishes.
