Default Why do I get a headache right as I start drinking alcohol? - 12-16-2008, 02:50 AM

Ever since I went on a HUGE binge, I now get a headache right after I take my first swallow of hard alcohol. I don't get it from beer, only hard alcohol. I could drink beer all night long without getting a headache, but right as I drink hard A, there it is. Before my HUGE binge, I could drink hard A fine without getting a headache.

Perhaps you are dehydrated.

A friend of mine has been getting headaches after one drink. Her DR is going to look into a possible alcohol allergy. Ever considered it?

Many people get migraines from alcohol..hard to believe right?. The clue is it is happening just after drinking..a bad throbbing headache, nausea. Some hard alcohols also have additives now which could be the problem if beer isn't causing this.Believe it or not, binging can cause brain damage at a microscopic level. Your brain is now irritated to some degree and cannot tolerate what it could before. If this really bothers you see your doctor and tell them this.The obvious answer here is...why do you want to inflict brain damage on yourself? Not to mention the liver..
