Question: Is it possible to have an alcohol withdrawal from 1 night of drinking heavily?
(Posted by: SaSa on 2010-04-05 16:49:12)
I don't drink that often (probably once every 2 months), and when I do it's usually a couple beers or a few shots. I always wake up fine though. This past Friday [4- 2- 10] I drank a lot (8 shots in 4 hours). I'm 5'2 " and weigh 113 lbs. I woke up fine on Saturday. Mild headache, but drank lots of water. I didn't throw up at all - not on Friday or Saturday. It is now Monday, & starting last night I had cold sweats, trouble sleeping, I'm very irritable, shaky, lightheaded and feel like my heart is going to beat out of my chest. I looked up these symptoms and came up with "Alcohol Withdrawal " as my diagnosis. However, every legitimate/ reliable site has said that Alcohol Withdrawal can only happen to someone who has been drinking every day, or continuously for weeks/ months. Does anybody have a similar experience, or can give me advice on how to feel better at least? Thanks :) |
