Question 1

wake up feeling like i have a bruised body/ sensitive to touch skin. happens most when i go out drinking or randomly ad well. last about 2 days.

Accepted Answer

Dehydration??: Dehydration is a culprit.  Drinking alcohol does not keep the body hydrated and your body rebels against the lack of proper hydration.  What you do while out drinking also makes a difference.  Activities such as dancing may also have an impact on hydratioin.  Using other substances, will also contribute to the work your body has to do to remove the alcohol from your system.

Question 2

why do our bodies bruise more easily when we drink alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol: dilates the peripheral blood vessels under the skin, so they are more suscesptible to trauma and tend to bleed more when injured.  And alcohol increases our tendency to bump into things or fall down.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Question 4

when i drink alcohol i get a brusied feeling all over my torso especially my neck and collar bones an back? it's been happening for about 12 month

Accepted Answer

Stop all alcohol: Listen to your body. You probably don't metabolize alcohol properly  or together with other things it is increasing free radicals that are toxic to your body. Look at your life style and move to health in all areas. See kelly mcgonigal's book the will power instinct, 2012.

Question 5

why does my torso feel bruised after drinking alcohol?

Accepted Answer

See prior answer: I imagine you are talking about feeling "sore" - bruised refers to hematomas under the skin (black and blue marks) and aren't something you would feel - you are talking about feeling pain. Alcohol can cause gastritis, but this is usually an abdominal pain and not a pain in the "torso." am not sure what you mean by torso since it is more of a term in the art world than a medical one.

Question 6

what causes easy skin bruising: can alcohol drinking increase skin bruising?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If your liver is starting to fail, you will stop making clotting factors and start to have easy bruising.

Question 7

what causes your skin to feel bruised  and extremely sensitivr all over  after drinking a lot of alcohol the night before?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol and Skin: You may find that immediately after drinking a substantial amount of alcohol the skin on your face and body tends to redden and may even appear blotchy. This is because when you drink, your blood vessels dilate and remain so till the alcohol leaves your body. As such, the surface of your skin starts looking red and blotchy.

Question 8

for 1-2 days after i drink heavily my skin hurts to the touch, feels bruised. it only happens when i drink and it's happened several times.

Accepted Answer

Get examined: with particular attention to your liver and pancreas.
It is possible you are allergic or sensitive to certain types of alcohol and since you did not mention how many alcoholic drinks you drank- impossible to diagnose online: get examined.

Question 9

does drinking alcohol after eyelid surgery increae bruising?

Accepted Answer

Eyelid surgery: It is important that you follow your surgeons direction regarding medications and habits like smoking prior to surgery and after surgery. Typically once surgery has been performed and you have had time to recover a glass of wine is in order.

Question 10

if i feel the need to sleep all the time i bruise easily and can not get enough to drink what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Hypersomnia: Not sure how old you are, but its possible you may have a rare syndrome called klein levin syndrome where you sleep, drink, eat a lot and present with bipolar like symptom, this is an assumption although sounds unlikely in  your presentation. I would rule out medical causes of low platelets, get cbcd, cmp, ua, thyroid panel etc, r/u sleep study, Depakote induced low platelets and siadh.
