Why do i experience sharp pains in my joints after a long night of binge drinking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be gout: You could be having attacks of gout after alcohol binges. It can involve multiple joints, and can be more likely after heavy drinking. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=15094272 see your doctor about workup and recommendations, but it sounds like your body is already recommending that you stop your alcohol binges at least. Your doctor may also want you to see a rheumatologist.
