Pain in flank area after drinking alcohol

Hi I am a 24 yr old female. I have been experiencing severe pain in the last year in the flank area after drinking alcoholic drinks. I mainly drink malibu+pineapple or malt drinks...The flank pain is very severe to the point where I almost can't stand up, I usually have to urinate at the same time but this only happens a few hours after I get home from a night out when I have been drinking. I will get the pain, go to the bathroom and about 10 mins later or longer at times, the pain will finally go away. I just want to know if this is caused by the alcohol or if it could be something more serious. I have read that sometimes alcohol can be an indirect indicator for other diseases. Please help!

you mean in the right hand side you are probably inflaming your gall bladder, which is sensitive to alcohol.
