Hi welcome to HCM.

I understand your concern.The pain in your case is strongly related to the intake of alcohol.There can be associated peptic ulcer or chronic pancreatitis responsible for your pain.I strongly recommend you to have an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to detect this pathology.Specific management depends on the endoscopy results.Drugs like tramadol and proton pump inhibitors will help to control your symptoms.Weight reduction and cessation of alcohol intake will help to improve your symptoms.Surgical management involves total pancreatectomy.Discuss this with your doctor.Post your further queries,if any.
Thank you.
