back discomfort after drinking Posted: 04-28-08 12:40pm
Hi all
My question is I am having slight
discomfort somewhere in the middle of my
back , and this seems to take place after
a heavy night of drinking and lasts for a
few days unless I stop drinking , and then
it seems to ease off but after another
heavy night of drinking it seems to come
straight back , any ideas ?
I am wondering if my misspent youth is
coming back to haunt me.

Bingo! Stop drinking! This is probably
killing your liver and your
kidneys...which are right where you are
probably feeling the pain.
I will copy this over to the
addiction/recovery forum so that you can
get on a path to a healthier lifestyle.

Afraid the answer is no. Once you start
having other problems ei...liver, stomach
etc......you have to stop completely. It
would be healthier for you to stop in any
sense of the word. Have you tried support
groups? Or should I take it as your post
seems to reflect and that is your really
do not want to stop. If that is the case,
my question is, how sick are you going to
have to get to acknowledge you have a
problem that could end up fatal?

hi thanks for the post , your right i dont
want to stop drinking completely as feel i
have a grip on my drinking at the moment
im well in to fitness so i havnt been
drinking during the week, its just that i
have had a very hectic social life for the
last 10 years or so and heavy drinking was
the order of the day when we were out i
just need to know exactly what is wrong ,
i certainly wouldnt describe it as a pain
that i am feling but there is something
there, also seems to help if i dont drink
coffee its awful my two favorite things
and i may have to give them up , still
dont want to and i would love to hear from
anyone else who has had similair
discomfort.

I have this same problem coffee and
alcohol will cause my left kidney to hurt
very badly i went to the doctor to get
them checked up on and the tests came back
normal, so i really dont have any idea
what the problem is. but if i had to guess
it would be the change in blood pressure
that could cause the pain.

Hey there,
Yes i get that also, is the pain slightly
to the sides of your back on one side or
both?
beacuse this is Kidny trouble.
I drank stupid amounts when i was 18 one
night i got a pain in my back on the left
side and i couldnt sit, walk, stand
anything i just cried it hurt so much,
when the doctor examined me it was a
kidney infection.
I'm now 36 and still drink quite a bit
but i think
what helpws with me now is that i
constantly drink evian water like 2-4
litres a day, and i used to hate drinking
water,
but ever since i have started i get no
problems whatsoever.
So drink gallons of water every day and
this will flush out your system keeping it
fairly healthy so when you go to drink you
shouldn't get the pains back
but i think
what helpws with me now is that i
constantly drink evian water like 2-4
litres a day, and i used to hate drinking
water,
