A member asked:
When i drink i get really cold, to the point where my entire body is shaking, is this considered alcohol poisoning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Alcohol is a toxin and therefore a poison to everyone. Some people are more sensitive than others. You are obviously having having a reaction to the alcohol and i would definitely recommend you leave it off.
