Gastritis: Most likely post alcohol gastritis and dehydration with possible low potassium. Unlikely, but still possible is pancreatitis, which could be serious. If you don`t get better fast go to the dr to be checked.

Gastritis: That amount of alcohol excess is enough to cause inflammation of the stomach lining. Follow a bland diet without alcohol or caffeine and take mylanta 1/2 hour after meals and at bedtime. The inflammation should heal in a few days. If symptoms persist or worsen, call your physician.

Gastritis: You probably have an inflammation of your stomach due to the excessive alcohol and vomiting. Take a over the counter h2 blocker (pepcid or zantac) for 7-14 days. If you get dizzy, weak, black stool - see a doctor immediately. That could be a sign of a bleeding ulcer. No alcohol for a week and no Ibuprofen for a week as well. Stick to tylenol (acetaminophen) for any pain.
