Question about alcohol..

[Technologic]

eat some bread before drinking, always works

I have the same problem with Cider Cyndia.. Normally only when I drink a lot of it though. Certain people can be effected more than others I suppose. I never have that kind of problem with Vodka though...

I think it's nothing to worry about just try to avoid it when you can

Hi, I am no expert but I may have some suggestions. I would also like to ask if you saw a doctor about this matter. Could it be that you have some problems with liver functioning?

The only reasonable answer I can think of, as an non-expert, is that those gastric juices (acids) that are being produced more than usual when alcohol is introduced into the system may irritate stomach lining and cause your pain. I also know that there’s an increase in pancreatic and intestinal secretions and they too could be a reason for your pain

Or you could have problems or be intolerant on some alcohol ingredients.

I am not sure that there would be any cure for this if you suffer of certain ingredients’ intolerance except for avoiding alcohol.

Leah and Stefy.. I never considered an intolerance. But I suppose that would make sense (and maybe it's only to vodka??). It would be kind of unfortunate if it turned out I couldn't drink at all, haha, but I suppose better in the long run!

yeh I have an intollerance to cheese and I didn't realise it until after a few months so I was still eating it and id get really bad stomach aches and sometimes would pass out from the pain and stuff. It went away if I lay on the floor for about half an hour, it was really strange.

Tequila does this to me, try a different drink, sucks i cant have tequila sunrise. If i do happen to drink it (in cocktails without noticing) and get the bad stomach, i usually just have a few glasses of water, after about 10 mins it seems ok.

hope i helped.

Thanks for all the advice guys! I was talking with my dad, and I randomly found out he has IBS with most spicy foods (I've known forever that he wasn't able to eat spicy things, but I'd always assumed it was because he couldn't handle the taste lol. Now i feel bad for teasing him so much about it!). If its genetic, then maybe I have it? Whatever it is, I've been avoiding vodka for the last few weeks and its working Gin is my new thing!
