Welcome to Healthcare Magic
The pins and needles could be attributed to increased blood flow and possible neuropathy due to increased alcohol consumption. Especially since you haven;t been eating well there may be associated Vitamin deficiencies which can cause this. The stomach pain is due to possible alcohol gastritis. You need to understand that alcohol can have severe adverse effects like excessive vomiting of blood, gastritis, gastric ulcer, liver failure, coma etc. It would be best to curb this disease by consulting with the right persons. You need to get enrolled in Alcohol deaddiction like Alcoholics anonymous. Do not delay.
