What Is The Reason For Shaking After Drinking Alcohol And Smoking Cigarettes?

When I go out for a drink. I have maybe 2/3 bottles of beer with 2/3 cigarettes but will then start to shake like someone with Parkinson s which lasts for maybe 2 minutes then stops but if I have another cigarette the same episode happens again for around two minutes and then stops again, this can be very embarrassing if in company so normally I will hide this by making my excuses and say I need to use the bathroom and will stay there till the shaking stops.

Hi,

It appears that you are not a regular smoker and smoke only when you drink. Perhaps this is why your body reacts badly to the onslaught of nicotine from smoking two to three cigarettes in a short span of time. Tremors are common in nicotine toxicity and you can avoid this by increasing the time gap between the cigarettes or reducing the number of cigarettes you smoke.

Hope this helps you. Best wishes.
