I started having problems like this in my junior year of college. Every time that I drank heavily, I would have difficulty breathing, usually mild, but a couple times pretty severely so. It would typically last through the night, and into the next morning. I went to the doctor and got a chest X-ray, had some tests run, got my blood pressure, etc. and they found nothing wrong. My doctor had heard of this kind of thing before being related to acid-reflux disease types of symptoms, which alcohol can make worse, so he prescribed omeprazole for me (the generic form of Prilosec). Ever since I've been taking it, I haven't had a problem with drinking--when I stop taking it, the symptoms come back. I think Keith has talked before about having acid-reflux kinds of things, right? So maybe this could be related.
