Excessive drinking, or alcohol abuse, is commonly associated with liver pain. However, such pain as a symptom after drinking may also imply another underlying cause (such as hepatitis), which could itself be caused or worsened by the alcohol. 
Treatment methods for liver pain varies based on the diagnosis of the underlying cause. You can learn more about the particular potential causes mentioned on this site. Liver pain treatment methods may also include symptomatic options to relieve the pain and other symptoms experienced by the patient. - http://goldteeths.blogspot.com/2008/11/liver-pain.html
Liver pain is on the right side, mostly right under the rib cage, and up. There can be free fluid around the liver in the abdominal cavity which will produce pain in the right shoulder. It probably hurts to breathe in, or cough. Sometimes people describe the feeling as a swollen full feeling or cramping under the rib cage.
Liver pain symptoms are often dismissed because it is a general belief that organs don't hurt. If you are experiencing any of these sensations, don't give up, and don't think you are making it up. Liver Pain can be real. Rheumatologists, nephrologists, family practitioners, all have been known to dismiss liver pain as patient complainings.
Sometimes it feels like your liver just doesn't fit under your rib cage. One person described it as feeling like a brick was tucked under their right rib. Sometimes the feeling is connected to a pain in the back as well.
Pain caused from a swollen liver is not necessarily sharp. Most of the time 'liver pain' is just a dull ache. Sometimes the sensation is wrongly attributed to fibromyaliga.
The cause of Liver Pain may be more easily identified by identifying other symptoms, such as fatigue, itching, swollen testes, difficulties breathing, eating problems, or even shoulder pain.
Medical research results indicate that gallbladder pain doesn’t always occur due to gall bladder blockage with gallstones. It is believed that some people have the symptoms of gall bladder disease as a result of intolerance to certain foods. Experiments performed in the past revealed that gall bladder pain attacks occur due to allergic reactions to foods like: eggs, meats with high levels of fat, dairy products and citrus fruits. Gall bladder pain attacks can also be triggered by the consumption of chocolate, coffee and carbonated soda. The least allergenic foods are considered to be fish, green vegetables and wheat products. http://goldteeths.blogspot.com/2008/11/gallbladder-pain-symptoms.html
