What Causes Numbness On Left Side Of Stomach And Lower Ribs?

My question is, I have been having numbness a lot lately on my left side of my stomach a little lower then my ribs. It first started when I was pregnant two years ago but I figured it was because of my pregnancy. I have been drinking about twice a week for about a month now. And I m not sure it is because of that? I do smoke cigarettes alot. Could that be the reason?
