Liquor could have an effect on your gut bacteria. Liquor gets created through fermentation. I would suggest that you try various different probiotics and see whether they have a similar effect as liquor.
It could also work through the relaxing effect of alcohol. There are various techniques for relaxation that could help, but it's not straightforward to produce relaxation when there are deep wounds because an organ is missing.
Going to an osteopath might be a good idea. An osteopath can help your body to come to terms with the wounds and relax.
Osteopathy is not evidence-based medicine. Although U.S. osteopaths now study the same contents as regular doctors, the specific contents added by osteopathy are as solid as acupuncture.
