Suggest Remedy For Swelling In Feet,ankles And Legs

Im a 38 yr old overweight woman with very swollen feet, ankles and legs. Im a very heavy alcohol drinking and Im pretty sure this is probably the cause. However, I have not had a drink in 3 days and I've noticed that the swelling has increased. Please help me. I know that the drinking must stop but I'm not even sure if this is the reason. 2 years ago before I started the heavy drinking my Doctor told me I was healthy as a horse but now I'm not so sure. Is swollen legs, feet and ankles a symptom of alcohol abuse?
