Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Alcohol is not a pain medicine, but it can relieve some pain due to following action:
-By reducing anxiety.
-By causing muscle relaxation.
-By causing sedation.
Your pain is not appear due to alcohol withdrawal. You should get investigated to find cause of your abdominal pain, and get treated accordingly. Do not use alcohol to relieve pain otherwise you may become dependent on it.
Wishing you good health and all the best.
