Why does my stomach feel better every-time I drink alcohol?

I'm a 20-something Arab. I used to drink during my teenage years, but recently the only thing that stops my stomach pains is alcohol. I've been drinking bourbon every night for the past two years. I went to the doctor not too long ago, and she had nothing to say about my stomach pains, only that I should cut down on the drinking because it's taking a toll on my liver.

So I'm just wondering, does anyone get like this?
