HI.
If the Kidney is normal on scan the pain can be due to liver. gall bladder or large bowel affection.
Alcohol increases the swelling in the diseased organ.
You have yet to get the diagnosis right.
Continuing alcohol can damage that particular organ forever.
So no alcohol is the first part of treatment and another part is to find out the diseased organ to get a proper treatment.
