Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is unlikely that alcohol is directly related to vaginal bleeding. However a possible relation exists between alcohol drinking causing gastritis which leads to shoulder and rib pain. The shoulder and rib pain is because of nerve irritation and non specific. Alcohol precipitates features of gastritis. This might be felt as pain in the chest which might include ribs and shoulder.

Hodgkins lymphoma usually does not cause bleeding through vagina. You might have to get a gynecological examination done to know if there is any condition in the cervix or vagina which might be causing the bleeding. It is also possible that after taking alcohol your urinary bladder is over distended or you might have cause in the urinary system for your bleeding. Doing an ultrasound scan of abdomen and pelvis with pap smear might be required. Complete blood count is also suggested with peripheral blood smear. Please mention these details to your doctor. Please do not worry.
