What Causes Persistent Fever After Alcohol Consumption?
For about 8 months this had been going on. If I drink 3 whiskey and coke. Then mixed in few shots of whiskey. The next day I start feeling sick. I run a low grad fever. The next day I m running 101 to 103 fever. Day 3 still running fever also very tired and body hurts. Day 4 start feeling better with low grad fever. I have never had this problem in the past.

Hi,
What you have described is a relatively uncommon withdrawal symptom of alcohol. The autonomic dysfunction seen in alcohol withdrawal is causing the temperature disregulation. There is no need to worry but do keep an eye on your alcohol consumption.
Best wishes.
