What Causes Trouble To Focus After Drinking?

Why do I still feel like spacy and find it hard to focus on things 3 days after drinking?? I did drink A LOT and it was the first time in a long time, but this has never happened to me before. A lot of people have told me that it s happened to them and they were fine but I m still worried. I feel like I m still a little bit drunk.

Dear User,

Thanks for using health care magic.

Trouble after drinking is varies from individual to individual. You might be aware that our body metabolizes alcohol in different molecules first to acetaldehyde followed by acetate which is non toxic. The rate of metabolism is depend on some liver enzymes that work at different rate in different individuals.

You are advised to limit your alcohol intake to two or at a maximum three drinks in single sitting/day.
