drinking alcohol causes severe dehydration. my advise: when drinking, have one glass of water for each alcoholic one consumed. also, don't drink on a empty stomach.
as humbling as the regret from hangover mornings, it is nothing that some Alcazelzer or an egg-yoke with a small glass of beer won't fix.
so cheers, don't worry. the human body is made to withstand tremendous amounts of abuse and recover.

Of course you should be worried, goof-ball! Drinking excessively causes your liver functions to become retarded. Then, you start to develop Cirrhosis of the Liver (the liver cannot repair itself from this disease). Cirrhosis is a serious condition. Only 30 percent of patients with this problem will survive five years after diagnosis and the outlook is worse if the cause is alcohol and the patient continues to drink.
The liver is responsible for removing poisonous substances from the blood. In cirrhosis, the blood may bypass the liver and these poisonous substances pass to the brain where they may result in alteration in brain function, causing confusion, drowsiness and finally coma. This is called hepatic encephalopathy. This is also serious and requires hospital treatment.
It's okay to drink but you must give your body time in between to heal. Don't be stupid!

Drinking too much can lead to stomach problems. Some severe alcoholics end up with major stomach disorders as well as things like liver damage and mental problems (depression being the most common). It's also as likely to give you cancer in the long run as smoking.
Just remember, even though it's legal, alcohol is one of the nastiest dirtiest drugs you can do. I love booze but it's best to moderate your intake and realise that some people can handle more than others. Never try to "keep up" when it comes to drinking, find your own safe level.

indigestion. acid is very harsh on your digestive tract and a lot of people also get heartburn. you may even have the beginning of an ulcer and those things hurt a lot. i suggest you stop until your stomach feels much better. why make the problem worst by going out and drinking while it still hurts. is it really worth it? why are you drinking so much anyway? you should cut back. if the problem persists you should see a doctor.

I don't know if you're joking or not. But, there's always the possibility of pancreatitis. It is very common due to alcohol. It is also a most serious condition. It mimics stomach pain and you can also experience a pain in the back.
You should see a doc if these symptoms exist. Pancreatitis can be live-threatening. It causes the organs of the body to shut down.

Are you? Worried, I mean?
Are you tender in the upper right part of your abdomen?
Oy, very funny! I'm just some schmuck on the net at 2 AM. See a doc if it's not better in a day or two...;<)

I would recommend that you not drink tonight. Maybe have some tea instead. Or soda pop. You might be getting an ulcer from all that alcohol. Or, stress. If it continues to hurt, please go to your dr. asap that you can make an appt., and see what is going on.
Take care.

Excessive drinking can lead to a conditon called GERD.....this is commonly referred to as acid reflux disease. My DH has it and it leads to a lot of vomiting and the inability to eat regular foods. Leave the alcohol alone.....esp if you can't do it in moderation. See your Dr and be assessed as soon as possible.

chill out in the drinking for a few days, (if even longer)
and see how it feels. if it gets any worse go to the doctors.
even if it gets better, don't be drinking so much, it will cause
other problems.
