Default Drank 5 beers a shot

I went to go get some wings with my co-workers and decided to test how alcohol will affect my lightheaded/detached feeling/brain fog. The following morning of consuming 5 beers and a shot of gentleman's jack, i had a slight headache and bit more light headed/foggy than usual. The headache went away within the next 2 hours and i went on with my day feeling no less worse or better than the my other days. Shoot, im not sure if i have PCS or some other bodily malfunction that im not aware of. I guess time to pucker up my bank account and off to the doctors!!

Maybe your brain is getting pickled from the drinking. Or, could you have a liver problem that is effecting your brain ? You may be thiamine deficient.

What is your blood pressure like ? You could have a low BP. Low blood sugar can also cause these sensations.
