Brief Answer:
Possible hemorrhoids. Please provide some more information.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using HealthcareMagic.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.

Can you please explain a little bit more about your concern ?

- How much has the amount of blood been ? Has it been black or bright red? Has it been just blood or just mixed with the stool ? How many bowel movements have you had till now ?

What I am thinking is that, the most common problem that alcohol triggers is hemorrhoids. The blood in this case would be mixed with the stool and will be bright red. Sometimes people may refer to have blood when they wipe themselves.

But if the blood is a lot, if you have diarrhea with it, and in case it keeps on continuing, then it may be other problems, depending on the other information that I've asked earlier.

Looking forward to your follow up question.

Regards,
Dr. Papaqako.
