Today i had a light tan/almost greyish colored stool. i drank last night. anything to be worried about? or can i wait to see a doctor?

Depends: Colored alcohols do taint the color of stool the next day, esp if they are consumed in quantity. Wine is an example. Also, they do not always turn the stool the color of the drink, you kind have to think about the color wheel in art class, what colors when mixed together create another color. If you have other symptoms, then forget the above and go see your pcp. Red stools are trump, see pcp.
