Welcome to the forum, chipmunk.

Guess your liver is reacting a bit to change from 5 pints a night to zero! Were you told to give up completely? Might be OK to cut down - not least because beer is empty calories, which may need to be cut down if you're overweight?

Are you making other changes to what you're eating and your levels of physical activity - not just gym / sport, but anything enjoyable / practical eg walking or cycling instead of driving / bus / train etc.
