Nice & calm piece of suggestion.Loved
I've noticed this too. I'm not a big drinker but lately even 2 drinks and I'm cringing in pain later that night but I've found if I take a magnesium pill it goes away almost instantly. Try it. If I have to I will take up to 3. Any magnesium will do. Costco or whatever. For me it's like I'm hooked up to electricity in the bottom of my foot. Not fun!
Try taking a potassium supplement with a full glass (8 oz) of water before going to bed. It helps me. If I forget...I take it first thing on rising.
Looks like there is no solutions to this other than quitting alcohol.
I socially end up drinking around 3 pints of beer a week. Now I am done. Have to decide on an alternative non-alcoholic drink or try a different juice each time.
I think this link from Wiki should help if at all we are at this stage or would end up at this stage.

I guess this is where I'm supposed to say that I have all of these symptoms too. Sore, tender calf muscles. They are sore enough that I can't walk around much without a lot of pain. I also have pain in my hamstrings, and in the arches of my feet. This has been going on for three years. I have ruled out every muscle disease because I don't have any other symptoms except the leg pain. I do drink, usually about once a week. I usually have about six drinks when I do drink. After reading this I am considering giving up drinking completeley. I also drive a truck. I wonder if sitting in a truck 10 hours a day is giving me circulation problems.
