Cirrhosis is a chronic liver disease and will only develop as a result of your drinking in years to come. However, an inflammed liver is the precursor to furture cirrhosis. Stop drinking genius.

It is very possible, the two most likely causes being alcoholic liver disease or an chronic hepatitis infection. These are the most common, but there are about a dozen other hereditary or autoimmune diseases that can cause inflammation and pain.
