Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Alcohol and backache do not have any relation with each other. The pain may be due to some other causes. You can take analgesics like Diclofenac pain, if pain persists better to take an MRI spine to rule out conditions like disc prolapse which can also cause similar clinical picture.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.
