get him to go to see a doctor NOW...it could be a chest infection or even bronchitis....he's best getting checked just in-case something serious is happening in there....drinking and smoking can cause chest pains and other illnesses...he's not healthy...he needs to see a doctor right away, even quit smoking if he can...cut down on the booze too, if he wants to live longer than his dad did then he needs to get a check up....even if you took him to A&E right now..they will do a chest xray and see what the prob is...but i do think this needs urgent attention...drag him there if you have to...your a good friend....make him go

Get him to go to a doctor as soon as you can
It could possibly be the gas in the coke as it causes acid reflux in some people that causes pain in the chest
I wouldn`t wait and see ,go and get it checked ,I had a heart attack in 2000 and it`s not easy going
Make him see a doctor ,good luck

could be a lot of reasons, even something as simple as indigestion can give bad chest pains. sounds like he has bad habits there which wont help matters. it is probably due to the cigarettes, everyone is different though some people can smoke like troopers and feel great when it effects other people early on

Yes i would have to say its from smoking not the drinking. Which niether of he should do. Does he not want to live and end up like his dad. Im not going to tell you to take him to the hospital because by the sounds of it he wont go anyways. So the only thing you can do is watch him suffer.

It may have been indigestion pains as he drank a lot in four hours however in my opinion your friend needs to go to a doctor immediately for a check up. A lot of surgeries do "Men Health" periods so I think you should guide him in the direction of the doctors as it could be anything.

It really doesn't matter what the cause is, the result is the same. If he is having a heart attack, he needs to go to the hospital, or he will die. The doctor will talk to him about possible causes.

Is he stressed, if so, it could be an ulsa... but either way, you should tell him you are worried and think he should go and seek medical help. If he doesnt listen, then really there is nothing you can do. Hope you sort it out

Could be anything from a heart attack, pulled muscle, bronchitis, heartburn, hiatal hernia, etc. Best for him to get a check up from the doc.
