Dear- thanks for using our system, pain in the neck could be muscular ,osteoarthritis or just pinched nerve from spinal stenosis. If it associated with alcohol intake, must likely is muscular. You can try exercise to improve the strength of the neck muscles. You can use warm compresses alternating with cold. It is important to avoid heavy lifting too.
