alcohol hinders digestion?

it seems like, if i drink alcohol (generally just a little pure vodka, and not often at all, due to candida), any food that i eat just prior or within several hours after drinking takes forever to digest. it feels like it's just sitting there in my gut and not moving anywhere. i'll still be burping up food i ate 5 or 6 hours ago.

does anyone else have this issue? do you know why, or if there is some sort of disorder that could be causing it? gastroparesis, maybe? Tweet
