IT HEALS GRADUALLY.
Lower lip changes are often from long-term sun exposure and can be actinic cheilitis that sometimes can become squamous cell carcinoma. Your degree of change should be easy to treat. See your dermatologist. Liquor probably not a factor.
1) stop drinking alcohol
2) get evaluated by ENT asap
3) avoid spicy foods
4) apply ice for now
