Recently cut back from 3-5 drinks a night for years, had 3 sober days and felt great. a week later, had 3 beers and woke up with anxiety. withdrawal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You might be experiencing withdrawal even with the 3 beers you had after a week of abstinence or that your liver was more effective in metabolizing the alcohol after you gave it a period of rest. You should consider cutting down, attending AA mtgs or getting into an outpt drug treatment program.
