I have the same problem and nobody has ever been able to understand it. i hope somebody can reply with an answer

I also have the same problem.. I have never been that much of a drinker and only drink a few times a year socially. I always get the same pain in my back and its lasts for about a day or so after I drink.

I'm 32 and have been drinking alcohol regularly since I was 15. My drinking has fluctuated over the years but has hit some real highs. I now drink a few glasses of wine 5 nights a week on average and have the occasional bender after which I suffer with back pain. The pain is generally on the right middle and side of my back and sometimes the left and even lower back. It doesn't hurt if I sit still in a comfortable position. Does anyone else get this or have any idea of the cause?

I also suffer with the same. When i recently visited the doctor, he was concerned due to a lump there. (Lower side of back.) he carried out a reletivley straightforward procudure, and removed the problem. This was caused by a spatchcocked chicken, spread out inside my right thorax.

Me too does it have anything to do with liver or kidney damage

It only started happening after years of binge drinking... I can easily enjoy a 12 pack during the evening which isn't a good thing. I have the pain in the back, chest and lower back. As long as I don't drink it goes away but it scares me very much so I am afraid to drink.

Luckily there is pot to smoke and that is a better and more positive buzz. Unfortunately it is illegal in the US but most people don't think it should be illegal and don't really care if you smoke it.

Try pot and get rid of the alcohol. It might save your liver and kidneys and also keep you from losing your friends when you have the drunk rage!!!!

i would suggest you get a liver and kidney function test.

Yes you can most definately get a sore back from drinking alcohol on a long term basis

ME TOO...37yo here. I have been a heavy drinker, for the most part, since I was 16. After 21 yo I drank more than not and have continued this trend. Since I was about 31 or 32 I have had a dull ache in my back, down both side of my spine to my butt. It is much worse when I drink. cramps so bad I can't sleep. But, the, so called, experts say it can't be from the drinking. I have been researching this for a while now and I think that it has to be connected. But, what I think might be happening is, along with a poor diet, the drinking has created a mineral deficiency, particularly Magneseium Mg. It can be a cause of cramps and aches. Also, living in a acidic state ( low body PH) can cause all sorts of problems. I decided t say f*** it for awhile and jump on, and off, the wagon and get my body from an acidic state to a more alkaline state. Only been a month, but the back pain is going away and I feel a lot better. Could just be the wagon part, but I think it alls goes together. Also, have been eating kidney cleansing foods.....Good luck!!!!!!!!!!

I have also had severe back pain with upper arm pain after drinking alcohol. I was attributing it to having a hypoglycemic attack. The pain would be intense and I also get short of breath. It lasts from 1/2 to 1 hour then completely resolves. I have been looking up pain after alcohol ingestion on the net and it is suggestive of Hodgkin's Disease. It is one of the rare but diagnostic aids in diagnosing this disease. I am just starting to investigate this and we are starting with blood work. I hope this is not true.
