There is a lot of internet accessible information on liver disease.  I am not a health professional, so I won't speak to genetics, but it is well researched that alcoholism is a causative factor in some liver disease.  To prevent liver problems, the literature is clear that we should not drink alcohol to excess.  Below is list of symptoms from the Mayo Clinic link.  Best of luck.

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any persistent signs or symptoms that worry you. Seek immediate medical attention if you have abdominal pain that is so severe that you can't stay still.
