Well, I feel relieved to hear im not alone. Let me say though I have a history of drinking and have a high tolerance (i am 26). I do have temporary blackouts when drinking hard alcohol, but not so much with beer. I will get mild hangovers from a night out, assuming that I don't drink booze. However, after maybe a Friday AND Saturday out, it happens. I've yet to meet anyone else that understands it.
Horrible anxiety, shaking, insomnia for up to five days later etc, but the worst? The irrational and horrible worrying about what I did when I was drinking. Terrified to look at my phone and have to recall who I called, I'll work up the courage to call those I saw during the partying. If they don't answer I assume their mad at me. I experience very strange night terrors, where I cant fall asleep but my brain is "daydreaming", and I'll have very intense feelings of fear and terror brought on by images and thoughts. Not falling asleep for days only adds to the anxiety and depression. When having a cigarrette the anxiety seems to worsen, and I find myself just wanting to light up another one. When I was younger I could party all night and feel great the next day, if not for a headache which could be treated with aspirin and liquids. AHH! Its just getting worse too. I'll call of alcohol for a while but once I feel better and someone invites me out I give in. What the hell is wrong with us? :-(

Hi, you most definitely are not alone, i also suffer from these same symptoms after a big night out. I feel fantastic when I'm drinking but the next few days after drinking excessively i crash hard, it's extremely frightening i have horrible thoughts and my anxiety escalates to a point where i find sometimes find myself at e.d, i try to give it up knowing full well that it's not good for my anxiety disorder but unfortunately i just cant seem too :(
