Hello Welcome to Ask a Doctor service I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. If this is the pericarditis no matter how much it is extensive or mild, but it has to be taken very seriously and it is advisable to avoid the alcohol consumption, underlying cause of pericarditis is matter of concern, or it has to be confirmed for sure. Hope I have answered your query, let me know for further assistance.
