Still thirsty three days after a night out drinking alcohol?!
I'm a 29 year old male and have been drinking regularly since I was about 16!. I'm a binge drinker so when I'm out I'll knock back copious amounts of drinks, perhaps 11 or more each night I go out!. I go out usually 2 nights a week and I've been doing this for years!.
I tend to have about 10 cigs as well when I'm out, but don't smoke otherwise!. I usually switch drinks during the night, like I'll have Vodka tonics, then beer, then shots like whiskey!. I tend to drink from about 8 or so until 4 am when the bars close here!.
For the past 10 months or so I've been thirsty several days after drinking!. I realize drinking dehydrates but this seems a bit much!. Just went out fairly hard on Wednesday night and didn't drink water while I was out, but did drink a lot of smart water w/ electrolytes when I got home!.
Haven't been to a doctor in 2 years so figure I might want to go!. Don't have diabetes in the fam; could this be early stage!? I'd prob have other symptoms!. Anyhow, any tips, this normal!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

11 shots is 11 units!. This, twice a week, is not going to give you cirrhosis!. But smoking WITH alcohol is shown to give you far higher chances of cancer in the mouth and throat than either alone, or either at different points!.
I would worry about the smoking more than the drinking, but you could try binging once a week instead!. Gradually cutting back can really help you reduce your intake without missing it
A doctor wont tell you much, they might request a liver function test which often come back normal anyway!. If you're lucky they might give you a leaflet on diet, and cutting back on drinking that you could find online!. They're not miracle workers, what do you expect them to say other than cut back!? All that will do is taint your medical notes with "alcoholism" risks, that might affect your employment/health + life insurance!! Be careful of such traps!Www@FoodAQ@Com

you are depleting you body of minerals(electrolytes) and you are not giving your body enough time to recuperate between binges!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Drinking abusively is not normal!. Binge drinking twice a week is not binge drinking - it's drinking!. Binge drinking is twice a year!. You are probably doing much damage to your liver!. Alcohol is metabolized in the liver - that's why drunks get cirrhosis!. Cirrhosis is an ugly way to die!.
Go ahead and see a doctor if you want to, but you need to see your bartender a LOT less!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Binge drinking is bad, especially when you are doing this 2 nights a week!. That is excessive and you are doing a lot of damage to your body!.
Alcohol is a powerful diuretic that can cause severe dehydration and staggering electrolyte imbalances!. Severe dehydration can require several days to a week for full recovery!.
From the standpoint of bodily health, alcohol can have deleterious effects on the body!. Fatty liver, fibrosis, cirrhosis (irreversible liver damage) and gout are common side effects of chronic binge drinking!. Alcohol over stimulates cells in the lining of the stomach that produce acid!. Increases in acid production are associated with heartburn and ulcer development!. Intestinal cells fail to absorb micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), which can lead to electrolyte imbalances and vitamin deficiencies!. Alcohol consumption impairs the body’s mechanisms that control blood glucose and may result in hypoglycemia!. This may cause serious injury even if it doesn’t last long because it causes the brain and other body tissues to be deprived of glucose needed for energy and normal function!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
