It took a good 4-6 months until I noticed all the "liver" pains subsided. In the past two years I've drank 4 times and completely alcohol free the past 12 months. I noticed some sort of abdominal pain the few times I drank. Most likely pancreatitis on a minor level. With that said, I would see a doctor every few weeks if it persists. I would also keep track of my food and beverage intake and pain levels at certain times of the day after eating, exercise, etc. So you can paint a full picture to your doctor. Good luck
