Diarrhea after drinking
I am 25 y/o male. I am having a problem with diarrhea, and I think it's related in some way to alcohol.
On both occassions I had been out the previous night drinking fairly heavily. What I drink doesn't seem to matter but the end result is the same.
The next day after the drinking I wake up with what feels like a regular hangover. However, on both occassions I went out and had a big meal a few hours after rising. I feel fine while eating, perhaps a bit bloated. However, shortly after eating I feel like I am going to pass gas but instead, it's diarrhea.
On both occassions, after going to the bathroom, I felt fine. But the diarrhea comes over very quick, and would be a real problem if I wasn't close to a bathroom.
I have drank for a number of years and never experienced this before last week. The food that I ate varied both times.
Other then the diarrhea, I feel fine, but it is very inconvenient. Should I be worried about this? I realize this is a bit of a stretch, since I never had unprotected sex or condom malfunctions, but I have heard this can be a sign of HIV. Is that accurate?
Thanks so much for your help.

My girlfriend and I often drink on Saturday nights and we do we both experience some loose stool action having only one bathroom makes things a little interesting but that's besides the point. The last time we drank a little heavy my excretions were actually pretty firm!!!! I was pretty excited about this until I looked into the bowl ..... My stool was WHITE!!! I'm a little nervous about this. Should I be concerned ? Please HELP

Yeah if that continues you should definitely see a doctor. I've never heard of white stool before except with dogs

I have experienced these same digestive issues anywhere from the morning after to a few days later. I have found, from experience, that when I drink lots of beer, I usually experience it the following morning; however, when I drink several sugary mixed drinks (anything with coke, red bull, or flavored syrups), I experience it much later.
When drinking lots of alcohol your pancreas can become inflamed for a few days after the night of drinking, especially if you have been drinking for a number of years. Your pancreas regulates the sugar levels in your body. When you ingest lots of sugar while your pancreas cannot properly provide your body with insulin and at the same time drink alcohol which stops your liver from releasing glucose into the bloodstream, your blood sugar levels decrease causing hypoglycemia and acute pancreatitis. Symptoms, including diarrhea and others similar to a typical hangover, take several days to subside.
I have found that picking a specific drink with no sugary mixture like a glass of Jameson--water it down if you don't like it neat--and sticking with that for an entire night leads to a great time and does not have this effect.

Hey Everyone,
