In the short term, drinking too much alcohol can cause side effects, including:
– headaches
– dizziness, nausea and vomiting
– loss of coordination and balance
– accidental injury (to yourself or others)
– alcohol poisoning (which can be fatal)
– Fatigue (tiredness)
– Hangover

After drinking alcohol, you can get a hangover, which can cause unpleasant symptoms like:
– headache
– thirst, dizziness, and light headedness
– nausea, vomiting and aching tummy
– shakiness
– Tiredness

These symptoms happen because of how alcohol affects your body. Hangovers can vary between people.  Time is the only way to remove alcohol from your body. So, there are no cures for a hangover.  The best way to avoid a hangover is to drink less, or not at all.

In order to answer the question, “How To quit heavy drinking?”, many people seek the advise and experience of a professional alcohol and drug counselor. Enrolling in an in-patient rehab can be very expensive and requires you to stop your life while you live onsite during the program for a month or more. This can be very disruptive to your work and family commitments. Entering a day program is a very good option for many people because they don’t have to put their life on hold and leave their family. They can continue to work and participate in their family life without interruption, and you can work your life commitments around the day program just a few hours a day. This program only requires you to spend 6 hours a week for 4 weeks, and you will receive the same or better information than what you would receive at an in-patient month long rehab center.
