chest pain

Hey.

I'm 30 and never really drank much alcohol before. When I drink spirits now (1glass), I get a terrible pain where my liver is. It's like a vice's grip and it gets progressively worse until I throw up or drink lots of water. What is it?
I read a report about hodgkins cancer, and think it sounds similar to the nodules being allergic to alcohol and so swell up.

Does anyone else get this?

Er, chest pain = see a doctor, fast.

Its probably not a good idea to read up about illnesses on the internet before seeing a doctor cause you'll probably think you've got a disease/illness that you havent even the slightest chance of having.

threads like this are silly, why ask a forum instead of going to the doctor?

hmmm it may just be that its too strong for you esp if you havent drank much before. also vegans/vegetarians and certain races handle drink not so well due to differences in body stucture/enzymesr and methods of breaking it down. see a doc tho

Actually the internet is quite useful but don't believe everything. See a doctor or start on on slightly less toxic drinks.

I recommend a pint of 6X
