I'm also a college student, and with all the drinking at that goes on at my 
school, I've never heard of anything like that. I doubt it's alcohol related, 
but then again I'm not a doctor. This may be the wrong forum to be asking in. 
In fact, you're probably better off just asking a real doctor whether it's 
alcohol related (rather than just "what's wrong with me").

Also, you probably shouldn't be mixing medicine and alcohol. Pretty bad idea.
