History of Presenting illness

A 35 year old man, who sells plants  at nalgonda tells us a detailed insight to the reason for all his problems. He says he has been married 9 years back but since the past 5 years he has been living apart from his wife and his 2 sons due to marital issues. Prior to that he used to consume alcohol occasionally but since the past 5 years he has been consuming about half to 1 bottle of whiskey everyday.
3 years back, he paid a visit to a local hospital with abdominal distension and pedal edema and he was diagnosed with chronic liver disease for which he used medications for a while and stopped. He was even diagnosed to be a diabetic back then and he started using Tab Metformin 500mg OD.
2 months back, his abdominal distension increased and his eyes became yellow after which he started using local herbal medications. 
Since the past 15 days he has been experiencing dyspnea on exertion after which he paid a visit to a local hospital and they put him on certain medications which relieved his symptoms. 
Since the past 1 week, he says his abdominal distension has increased and so as his dyspnea, it has increased to such a point that even at rest it isn't getting relieved.
