Does Alcohol Intake Cause Body Ache And Swelling In The Upper Stomach?

I have been drinking steadily for about 6 months at the rate of 1 pint of Vodka and a bottle of white wine per night. Over the last 2 months, I have had the following symptoms develop: 1) severe pain all over my body when awakening in the Morning (diminishes or stops by 2 PM). 2) Excessive nasal discharge not related, I think, to Pollen allergies. 3) development of a hemorrhoid accompanied by an all day orange/yellow fluid discharge from my anus. 4) Just in the last few days, creaking joints all over my body, especially knees and arms. 5) Some swelling in my upper stomach. 6) Excessive night-time urination. Is any of this caused by the alcohol abuse?
