ALCOHOL AND IBS

Although I used to drink occasionally at the odd party every month or so, having just turned 18, this has become a large issue for me. Everytime i go clubbing, my stomach takes days to recover, even if I just drink a bit and not get drunk. And New Years Eve came as a big surprise to me...I was 'tipsy', not drunk enough to be sick, but just jolly you could say. The day after, I had no issues was extremely shocked! However, yesterday and today i have felt horrible, and never had such a bad episode before since being diagnosed with IBS when I was 14. I am going to Magaluf in Summer, and am nervous about drinking there, as I'm worried if i drink nightly for 10 days, I will cause my stomach a whole load of damage and my IBS will flare to severity. Has anyone got any advice on how to stop this reaction, other than completely avoiding alcohol?!

Sorry I'm late to the party, but thought id share my 2 cents. I suffer from IBS-D. I mainly drink beer and I pay for it the morning after. My job involves alot of travel, and if I know that I have something to do the next day that involves flights, public transport, or even a drive, there is now way id drink the night before. Saying that, Generally I can have maybe 2/3 and Il be fine, but any more than that and Il feel the effects.
Its def not a good idea, but if I know that I'm going to have a flight later the next day, like evening time, Il have a few drinks the night before to "clear me out" in the morning, it is that much of a definite thing that Il be suffering the morning after. My ibs hates flying, as soon as I know that I wont be able to go to the toilet for 10/15mins I start panicing and getting stomach cramps, so clearing myself out seems like a better solution.
