Why Am I Feeling Dizzy After 3 Days Of Getting Drunk?

Hi there, I am 17 years old. I do not party very often but on Friday night just gone I went to a freinds 18th. I got pretty drunk and then the next morning still felt drunk. It is now Tuesday morning and ever since Friday I have felt, dizzy, light headed, slightly forgetful and find it sometimes difficult to concentrate, but on the whole I feel fine. No sickness or anything, and the feeling has slightly decreased since Saturday and Sunday. I have drank plenty of water, but I was just wondering, if anyone knew what this was or why it happening and what can be done to stop it, because it is slightly scary. Thanks En,m,iot

Hi. It's somewhat extended hangover. It is possible that because you take often drink and on that day you suddenly took plenty.Excessive alcohol distributed in your body and absorbed in fatty tissue.gradually it redistributed in body and gradually cleared out. As each time during redistribution , alcohol comes into circulation it causes dizziness. When total alcohol from your body cleared off, you will be totally free of symptoms. As you described that gradually effect has reduced, it will go away on it's own.There is no need of specific intervention.And ya next time don't go for plenty at a time to prevent such scary situation considering your age also.
