Hi,
Thanks for query,
It is a matter of worry,
due to over drinking you might have developed acute gastritis leading to bleeding in stomach or in the intestine,passing through GI tract and and turned out in Malina.
There is possibility of even peptic ulcer.
Go for ultra sound .
Mean while take antacid like Omeprozole tab.
ok and bye.
