Yesssssss. I'm actually in the bathroom to get away from my go up becuz I did a shot of something.
So I know it always happens with rum and other dark liquors , so I stopped a long time ago.
Now I know I'm ok with Vodka and beer..
Red wines...no.
I just did a shot of vodka, southern comfort and amaretto. And 5 mins later that ache over came me.
You aren't going crazy, we just gotta learn what our bodies are alsollergic to!!

I get this after the first drink. It's not painful, just uncomfortable...my shoulders and neck tense and I feel a little warm but it goes away after about 10-15 min and then I'm fine. Weird.

I have this problem with my left shoulder. Any and I mean any alcohol does it to me. It's an allergy! The allergy comes about by man interfering with nature and the original pure way of making wine etc. Man adds substances such as sulphites. Sulphites do occur naturally in grapes etc but man adds more sulphites for whatever reason they choose most likely to get more revenue quicker. So my advice is - make your own.

Allergy. Allergy Allergy!! Antihistamine.

I've had this problem for 30 years. I noticed it first with wine coolers. Pain in right shoulder down arm, tightening of chest, just pain and need to be immobile for about 20 minutes until it passes. I stopped drinking years ago and the problem still crops up if I drink a regular soda (coke, etc) or fruity drink. It's the high fructose corn syrup and, in smoothies, just plain fructose. Overload to the liver in liquid form.

I read in a post on this string that someone discovered that the reaction was a vitamin D deficiency so I will add vitami D to my supplements to see if that helps.

Surefire cure is avoiding drinks with high fructose corn syrup and avoiding fructose drinks in large quantities (smoothies, tumblers of apple juice) and no problem!

It's a histamine response. Basically you're allergic to alcohol

Hi, I used to experience deep pain after drinking alcoholic apple cider. The pain felt like a tension from the front part of the shoulders, passing through the clavicle, and "meeting" from both sides on the sternum. It would last for about 45 to 90 min.

This happens to me pretty often. Sometimes if I drink too quickly, even if the actual amount of alcohol I consumed is small. I've had this pain last over an hour. What seemed to help is taking allergy medicine at the first sign of pain. I know you aren't supposed to mix medicine and alcohol, but this makes the pain subside for me. I figure it's some type of slight allergic reaction, maybe depending on the type of alcohol, water intake that day. Etc...
Hope this helps.

I've recently been reading about ALDH2 deficiency and feel like this could be related

Sooo after reading everyone elses replies figured I'd put in my experience. I am a competitive bodybuilder with a really strict diet most of the time but when I'm not dieting I indulge. I've noticed this pain from only a couple of substances those being vodka and surprisingly any fountain drink (non alcoholic) so I'm wondering is this more about the sugar than the alcohol.

I get this after certain drinks also it's horrible but then I take half of my Ativan and it goes away plus I stay away from that drink I just chalked it up as to some drinks will cause anxiety hope it helps might be the caffeine in the alcohol

YOUR post came up in MY research! :D Very helpful! I'm going to get the vit. D test and, I think I'll try some homeopathic tabs for low sodium. Glad you feel better. Hope it works for ME.Isn't it funny that something as basic as apple juice can cause so much pain?! :-O

same exact problem here! It kills me. But mine seems to stretch into my lower abdomen but feels almost behind everything. Not quite in the stomach. I thought it was heart burn. When I drink vodka cran or fireball it happens. I've switches to 7n7s and haven't had it happen since. Please let us know what you find!

Thanks
