What Causes Coughing And Chest Tightness After Drinking Alcohol?
I have a tight chest and sometimes cough after a night of moderate to heavy drinking. This only started a month ago or so. I am a 23 year old male, 5' 11'', 165 lbs, athletic trainer. What is going on with my body? Am I allergic to Alcohol or is it something else?

Coughing and chest tightness both could be an indication of upcoming cardiac disease too. It should be excluded. If it's not, thank God and try to treat other local reasons that could be chest congestion due to environment, infection, cold etc. Doesn't seem allergy to alcohol.
Exclusion of any serious disease by clinical examination would be advisable.
Hope it helps you.
