What Is Causing Stomach Cramps, Nausea, Headache And Sweating After Having Drinks?
Hi. Me and a frien went out for drinks last night. We both had 5 drinks in about 3 hours. Neither of us can remember anything from the night but had a sober friend with us who filled us in. We both thing our drinks were spiked. Today I m having stomache cramps , nausea , headache and sweating. Also trembing the whole day. Its been 24 hours after drinking and I don t normally get hanovers. Should I go see a docter? What drug can cause this? At no time were we unable to move last night so it was not something like roofies I think.

Hello,
Based on the details you have given it looks like you are suffering from withdrawal symptoms from alcohol use.
Common withdrawal symptom is tremulousness. It can also cause physical problems like gastritis, vomiting, delayed gastric emptying etc.
Definitely you should consult a doctor who can start detoxification regimen and give you vitamin supplements.
Tips for controlling binges
-Set the limit and stick to it
-Start with non alcoholic drink
-Try a spacer- some non alcoholic drink
-Drink slowly
-Eat before the drink
-Avoid the competitive drinking games
-Be assertive
