I've noticed a slight throbbing pain under my left breast after I've been drinking alcohol. Is it possibly my heart, spleen, pancreas, or stomach?

It is more possible the heart or esophegus (part of stomach) as spleen, pancreas are on the right side. Alcohal damages the liver. Please see a DOC ASAP for your own good. No one can diagnose you here on this forum. You need an ultrasound and few blood test.

G'day Serenamac, Thank you for your question. I can't identify what it is. However, I would make a point of asking your doctor about it at your next checkup. If it becomes more frequent, I would make an appointment with your doctor to raise your concerns about it with him or her. Regards

If it happens after drinking, especially a lot of drinking, and it is in the center or just to your left of center, about 6 or so inches below the breast, it is most likely pancreatitis. Not to be fooled around with. Stop drinking, see a doc immediately. You may be headed for a pancreatic cyst, or worse. Pancreatitis is not always painful. It can be nothing more than a slight sensation of having a ball about the size of a grape inside you. I know, I've been through it. 90% of the time, it is alcohol related.
