Hi, and thanks for your medical question on eHealth's Ask a Doctor forum.

After drinking the pain in upper abdomen can be due to three main possibilities. One is acidity with gastric or duodenal ulcer. Other is pancreatitis. Third is fatty liver or alcoholic liver. All the three can cause nausea along with pain.

The best thing would be to stop drinking until you find out what the cause is. You should see a gastroenterologist (a specialist who looks after the diseases of our digestive system). Since a confirmed diagnosis cannot be given on net please discuss these possibilities with your doctor once. Hope this helps. Take care!
