Q: Back pain when drinking
asked by: mrjoecool on February 3rd, 2008

I am not at all a frequent drinker, I weigh 7 stone and i'm aged 16. I recently went out drinking and had about 6 pints which is far much more than i have ever had before but got kind of carried away. I had a fun, (and other than the drinking) sensible night and didn't feel too rough. After I got home I started to be sick and eventually got an intense back pain that caused me to breathe heavily and fast. It was so painful that I literally couldn't move and was forced to wait about half an hour before it went away. I seem to remember i also felt pain around the bottom of my lungs, but my memory on that is faint, it could also have been around my stomach.

Is this serious? I have asked many people I know and no one has experienced pain like this after drinking.

Thanks for any reply or a link to any information.

Might have been your kidneys --- rejecting all that alcohol and filtering the stuff out of your body.

Its called Alcohol Poisoning lol,

When u drink heavily that is until the point of drunkness or just after, you should really try to take alot of non-alcoholic fluid into your system and flush all the alcohol out, Or better still not get drunk but we all not that cant be helped cause a good drink = good times at times (i am guilty of this). But yeah when u feel the back pains and stuff it is good to drink lots of fluid and flush the alcohol out of the system Smile

Hope this helps.
