2 weeks ago I went drinking for 5 days, 15-20 beers a day. The last day I felt a spot on my right ribs hurting and thought that it might be the liver. But since it felt like it was actually the ribs that were sore I didn't think that much about it and it goes away. So last friday I go out, next morning I wake up with a little bit more instense pain in not the exact same spot, but same area. Where it before was around the lowest rib, it's now a bit higher right below the nipple. It still feels like it's the actual rib that's hurting, and not something underneath. It has lasted for a week now, and the pain hasn't decreased. I can feel it when I, for example do a sit up, or cough. Is it at all possible that the liver can be the cause of this pain?
There's a chance it's not liver pain, but it sounds sorta iffy. Go to the doctor, don't drink alcohol or take tylenol/aspirin, etc. Talk to a dr if you're on any other meds before discontinuing use.

good point on the Tylenol - that can be hard on the liver
Yeah, I was actually looking up the effects of aspirin on the liver and there have actually been some studies showing it may help. Some drugs can be pretty toxic for the liver, though.
Anyway, OP just needs to get into a clinic and see a doctor.
