Recently I have noticed a pattern with drinking liquor and this shoulder pain I have acquired. I get this strong throbbing pain in my right shoulder when I drink liquors, it will start somewhere after my first drink (usually toward the end of the first drink) and last about 15 mins to an hour. This never happens when I drink beer only mixed drinks and shots. My only preexisting medical condition is a bleeding ulcer that I had in February of 2008. I know when the ulcer is flaring up and getting agitated; This is not the cause of my shoulder pain. I've googled these symptoms and it appears that others have these problems when drinking but no one has yet discovered the cause. It's usually the right shoulder, and can stretch to fingers and across the chest and back. This never used to happen it only started within the last few months, and I used to drink much heavier than I do now. Also once the pain subsides if I continue drinking it will not come back.
