It's possible: Black stools may indicated blood from the upper GI tract such as your stomach. Gastritis can be caused by alcohol (as you mention) and also caffeine, ibuprofen, aspirin, advil, naprosyn (naproxen) and other medications. Please see your doctor to discuss your symptoms soon. If you have any dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest pain please go to the ER right away.
