Have no idea what nerve it could be. On the other hand, alcohol has a number of irritating effects on the entire gastrointestinal tract. irritation of the junction between the esophagus and the stomach is very common with or without alcohol. It is where the diaphram is, and moving the diaphram (known as breathing in) hits that spot, and if it's irritated, it gives the symptoms you describe. This is VERY common. Can be more or less proven by seeing that soothing foods/peptobismal changes the feelings.
