Whenever I drink I have a lot of six hours after. I have been drinking mikes hard, smirnoff mojito and drinks like that. I get bad crampy pains in my back and lower abdomen, also pain on my sides. Is it because of what I am drinking, I want to be able to have fun with friends. Should I try drinking something else? This pain lasts days..?

Please help! I am getting married in 4 days and want to be able to have a little wine at least!:D

This could be due to a number of reasons. It could be an allergic reaction to alcohol, pancreatitis, a gall bladder infection, GERD, ulcers, liver disease, or even a UTI.

I would suggest that you go see a doctor.

Thanks, I though so! I am planning on seeing a dr in two weeks. Once I get my health ou insurance. Do yoy think that is should not drink at all? Is it dangerous?

I use to be able to drink one or two mixed drinks but the past 8 yrs I noticed my shoulders would tense up and I would get head aches. My daughter mentioned to me a couple years ago that when she drinks her upper back muscles tense up too.
Last year I heard that many alcoholic beverages contain MSG
And I am allergic to MSG and that is one of the symptoms I get.
I don't know what alcohol contains MSG or how to find out if they do not.

For the time being don't drink at all. If a doctor gives you the all clear, try just having a single glass of wine per evening and see how you handle that. There's no need to drink heavily at any time. It's never good for you, it destroys brain cells and increases the risk of cancer (in women).

Ok! Thank you! Also kind of off the topic...

I have pain most the time, Near my ovaries and can't have intercourse. If I do a lot during the day with my daughter and cleaning, my back and Lower abdomen gets really bad cramps... Advil, asprin, tylenol doesn't work. Is it bad to take a pain killer? Like hydrocotin?

Okay then most likely you are having some sort of health issue. You should start with a gynecology appt.

It's really best not to drink alcohol. Your body is telling you that you can't drink it. Listen, to your body.

There are so many other non-alcoholic drinks that you can drink and that is way better for your health too.

Drinks such as water (which is the best drink you can drink) Juices. You can even get a juicer and juice you some fruits and vegetables. You can make smoothies with fresh fruits and yogurt.

Even if you don't want to make your own juice you can get it at the store. Grape Juice, apple juice, cranberry juice, white grape juice, etc.

Tea's there are so many kinds of delicious tea's too drink.

Plus, alcohol can make you gain weight too. There are so many downsides to drinking alcohol, and all of them are not good.

You don't have to drink alcohol to have fun.
