Been sick since drinking alcohol

[antiabort]

I got drunk for the first time 3 days ago, and did it again 2 days ago. And since the 2nd time I have been sick. I began to feel sick shortly after drinking, I had stomach pain, tightness in my chest, a cold sweat, and horrible indigestion after dinner. Since 2 days ago I have had diarrhea, stomach pain, anxiety, and cold sweating on my left side. However I think the sweat gets cold on that side because my left side is often more exposed to the air when I am relaxing. I know what you are going to say, "go to the doctor!" well I can't until after new years. Have any of you ever experienced this from drinking?

First...How much did you drink and what did you drink?
Second...Did you eat or hydrate anytime before or during your drinking period?

There is a condition (my roommate just got it from drinking excessively for about 4 years now) where the amount of alcohol you drink agitates the cells lining your gastrointestinal tract causing ulcers in the stomach, abdominal pain, diarrhea (which can sometimes be bloody), and other things...Another issue could just be a spike in liver enzymes...

As its only your second time getting drunk, I don't see how any long term alcohol side effects could be present....Unless you are allergic to alcohol, then the symptoms are most likely from another factor.

I drank 2 half bottles of wine, the first time it was white wine the 2nd time it was red. I drank water after each time too. I feel a lot better today though.

Hangover. If it's as bad as you're making out then it'll just be emphasised because you got drunk in quick succession, especially after your first time that can't be good.

[antiabort]

Yea, i'm not doing it again.

It sounds like someone is experiencing their first hangover :P
If it doesn't go away in a couple of days then is when you should go to your doctor.
Maybe learn to moderate next time.

Yeah sounds like the after effects of drinking, however you also could be mildly intolerant to alcohol. When you do drink, do it slow and don't go overboard. You can still drink without getting hammered to enjoy the effects alcohol has.

Its would be good if you could see a doctor after new years like you have said, just let the doc know what happens and describe your symptoms to him/her.

Hey it also might be good not to mix your wines and liquors next time. Mixing things that don't go together to well wont settle, for example, vodka and whiskey, not a good combo and makes you sick

[antiabort]

Yea I think I'm going to take a break from drinkin, next time i'll drink a smaller amount too.

[TheMightyBruce]

AGREED! DO NOT MIX YOUR LIQUOR! Take it from someone who learned it the hard way...thats how I experienced my first hangover...(beer, vodka, whiskey, tequila, and absinthe were never meant to be mixed together)

listen my man! I know you smoke weed and I do not condone it for one second, and let me tell you that alcohol and weed can both be very harmful. here is the deal though, if you need to get your kicks from something and you are definitely going to use either one or the other, stick to weed. ideally don't use either and stay clean but I'd rather you smoked a mostly safe plant than drank a very dangerous poison any day. I did a big case study on this and while one is illegal, it can definitely be said marijuana is safer. I don't think you should use either but it only seems sensible to stick to the safer one. Merry Christmas bro
