Gastritis: You may have gastric distal esophageal irritation erosion / reflux without significant pain and the alcohol caused the eroded area to bleed. Would follow up witht GI may benefit from endoscopy , checking for H pylori and treatment with ranitidine/ prevecid which in the US is over the counter
