What Causes Back Pain After Drinking Rum Or Margaritas?
I am a 40 year old female and sometimes when I have a mixed drink my lower back will hurt well not just hurt its a lot of pain and sometimes will last 30 min. to a couple of hours. It’s so bad that I can’t get comfortable no matter what I do. I do not drink that often. It seems to happen when I drink margaritas and long islands, rum and coke or pina coladas. It doesn’t happen every time I drink, just sometimes. Why does this happen?

What Causes Back Pain After Drinking Rum Or Margaritas?
Hi, This back pain is not due to spine or muscular pathology.It is a component of severe gastritis. DIAGNOSIS: Acute Gastritis EXPLANATION: Alcohol is a gastric irritant and each time u drink , it stimulates production of acid in stomach which radiates to the back as well. TREATMENT: 1) Take a T.Pantodac ( proton pump inhibitor ) 20 mins before u consume alcohol.This blocks the production of acid in stomach. 2) When the pain is too severe a) 1 glass of ice cold milk. b) Syr.Mucaine Gel 4 tsp. This should take care of your problem.
