What causes feet swelling after drinking alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Has to do with : Antidiuretic hormone inhibition from alcohol build up. You will urinate more water (causing dehydration-which is one of the reasons alcohol is so dehydrating) and then when you start to rehydrate, things like sodium will be out of balance, causing your feet to swell.
