Pain In Stomach After Drinking Liquor Posted: 03-07-04 16:57pm
Every time I drink mixed drinks (hard
liquor and soda/juice) I get a very bad
pain in my stomach, centered just below
the sternum. It does not happen when I
drink beer, wine, or non-alcoholic
beverages, or at any other time with food
or anything. It also usually doesn't
happen if I take straight shots of the
liquor. The pain doesn't feel like
burning but almost as if I had just been
punched in the stomach. The pain comes
on gradually and then goes away maybe
20-30 minutes later. Aside from this I
have no other digestive problems. I am
really curious to learn the cause of this
anomaly, I can't seem to find anything
about it on the internet. Could it
possibly just be a trapped air bubble or
something? If anyone knows what it could
be or if they have had a similar
experience please reply.

Hey there,
i get the same reaction when I mix my
drinks (but not when shooting hard a), and
the same thing happens with fruit juices
and soda. You may be sensitive to liquid
sugar (have you seen how much sugar is in
juice and soda?!), I cant handle it. If
you like mixed drinks, take it slowly, sip
and dont down it. Eat something like
crackers or bread when you are, it helps a
lot. I dont have any stomach problems
either except this one and its more
annoying than anything else. If you are
really worried, see your doctor. Hope
this helps!
