You are probably suffering from gastritis. Epigastric (as the region is called) pain is very common in gastritis. You need not get anxious and presume that so many things are wrong with you. Just visit a doctor who can examine you and he can say if your liver and spleen are enlarged. The gastritis could have a direct relation to alcohol intake which could also cause enlarged liver. It is not mandatory for your liver enlargement to be symptomatic.
