Are Chills, Shakiness And Dizziness Normal After Heavy Drinking?

I drank a large amount last night, I don't remember different parts of last night. When I close my eyes the room still spins and I'm dizzy and shaky. I feel like I could vomit, but can't, and I've been drinking water. Is it normal to have the chills, be shakey and have the room still be spinning?

Addiction Medicine Specialist 's  Response
No, drinking that much alcohol isn't normal. If this is a persistent pattern it indicates a problem with alcohol.

And.... it is predictable that with a hangover there will be certain symptoms. Hydration is helpful. Pepto bismal might be helpful. Weak or flat ginger ale or pediatric rehydration fluid might be helpful. Prescription anti-nausea medicines might be helpful.
