What Causes Pinching Discomfort On The Right Side Of My Ribcage?

hi, i am a 27 yr old male . I have an occasional pinching discomfort on the right side of my ribcage near my stomach ... im worried that it maybe my liver. I do consider my self a heavy drinker. I recently went in for a checkup which included a blood test of my liver function. My results are bilirubin 1.1, bilirubin direct 0.3, alk phos 57, ast 31, alt 41, ggtp23. My doctor informed me that my levels are a little abnormal but its nothing I should be concerned about. Im schedules for a liver sonogram in 2 days. Could this be my liver, what else could this discomfort be attributed to? Im asking online because my doctor seemed indifferent to my concern.
