Body out of whack after a night of drinking?

Question

Last night i met up with some old friends and I got pretty drunk (more than I usually do). Today I have been feeling light headed and having this feeling that i'm going to faint. I also get this numb/weak sensation sometimes in my legs/arms. I have been drinking a lot of water. Could this be serious? Usually when I have a hangover I get a headache and nausea but today i feel like my whole body/system is out of whack. Any ideas/suggestions?

Answer 1

It could be a small bit of alcohol poisoning, or it could be that your blood sugar is too low. Hydrating is important, but eating is too. I know it's hard sometimes when you're hung over, but you need to find something gentle for your stomach, like crackers or a sandwich or something (wouldn't recommend jalapeno poppers right now).

Next time you go out and drink, drink water along with your alcohol. That's what I have been doing for a few years now. It's not guaranteed to prevent a hangover, but it certainly helps a lot.

And if you can eat something before you pass out for the night it'll help too. I remember one night I drank almost a whole bottle of Absolut by myself. My drunk self had the sense to drink Hawaiian Punch and eat a couple of sandwiches before crashing. Miraculously, I did not get a hangover ~ I was actually still drunk when I woke up.

Take care bro. Sounds like you had a great time.

V-8 juice with a couple of aspirin is good. Also a B-complex vitamin, or better yet, a talblespoon of Brewer's Yeast in with the V-8. As an alternative to V-8, put a dash of salt into a glass of orange juice.
Both O.J. and V-8 are high in potassium, and your body also needs a little salt.

Answer 3

Alcohol is a diuretic and most of your symptoms can be attributed to dehydration. You will get over this quicker if you replenish your fluids WITH electrolytes. Broth, juice, Gatorade are better than water because you usually lose electrolytes with the water in the first place.

Answer 4

it may be just a really bad hang over or something you drank that didn't go too well with your body..mixing is not good ither..but there are some ways to get rid of a hangover if you look on the website...some are really weird.. like drinking coffee but i can't think of them but they actually have a website that you could go to..may just want to go to google.com and type in hangover

Answer 5

I had the same problem this morning and I didn't feel any better until a couple hours after I ate.

But I still feel like crap.

Your ok, or will be tomorrow.

Answer 6

drink some V8 (spicy if you can handle it). The tomato juice wakes up the liver to get going on the alcohol processing.

Lemme guess, you're never gonna drink again, right?

Answer 7

Your body is only dealing with a non everlasting withdrawl from the alchohol. believe me, i recognize the sensation only too properly. i became a huge heavy drinker. each and every from time to time it takes until eventually the second one day to sense your self. attempt to get as a lot sleep as you could. eating water only dilutes the alcohol it is already on your equipment.

Answer 8

I have no help for you because you are a hopeless drunk and you need to suffer this out yourself. Maybe next time you will not get drunk so you won`t have to cry about your problem.

Answer 9

drink some Gatorade,eat,rest,if you feel worse seek help. a couple of aspirin
