Hello! I am a 51 yr. old healthy Indian male (163 mm, 70 Kgs, play lawn tennis 3 times a week/ walk briskly 3 times a week for 40 minutes). Generally happy go lucky, without financial/ professional or personal tensions. no serious illness till date but for athelete's bronco asthma demanding a puff of Serobid before playing tennis.

Alcohol consumption history- have been consuming alcohol for last 30 years. First 20 years 3-4 times a week 5/6 large (50 ml.) drinks. Last 10 years 1-2 times 4/5 large drinks.

Smoking history- smoker for last 33 years. Avg.10-12 cigarettes/ day for first 23 years. Gave up for 3 years. Lately been smoking 7-8 cigarettes per day for last 5 years.

Food habits- Rather healthy food with very little fat/oil, sugars or red meats.

Problem - For last 1 year or so whenever I drink usual 4-5 large drinks of Whiskey/ Vodka etc., even after sleeping well I wake up with puffed up face and eyes and more often than not develop some slight FEVER that lasts for a day or two. This ofcourse is coupled with slight bodyache and fatigue etc. Mostly after such a drinking session on friday night the following Saturday and Sunday are more or less ruined. As it is becoming rather regular I am worried whether i have some liver or similar problem. Please advise the possible diagnosis and suggest the tests I should undergo to establish the problem for treatment.

Thank you
