Vomiting/ sweating are symptoms of alcoholism?

are vomiting and sweating symptoms of alcholol detoxing? I s that the question? As the way it is stated at the moment, your question does not make much sense. However, hope the following information helps.





What Is Alcoholism?





Alcoholism is a disease that is characterized by the following:





Craving: A strong need, or compulsion, to drink.


Loss of control: The frequent inability to stop drinking once a person has begun.


Physical dependence: The occurrence of withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety, when alcohol use is stopped after a period of heavy drinking. These symptoms are usually relieved by drinking alcohol or by taking another sedative drug. (http://www.aarecovery.com/alcoholism.htm...





Signs and symptoms


Before treatment or recovery, most people with alcoholism deny that they have a drinking problem. Other indications of alcoholism and alcohol abuse include:





Drinking alone or in secret


Being unable to limit the amount of alcohol you drink


Not remembering conversations or commitments, sometimes referred to as "blacking out"


Making a ritual of having drinks before, with or after dinner and becoming annoyed when this ritual is disturbed or questioned


Losing interest in activities and hobbies that used to bring pleasure


Feeling a need or compulsion to drink


Irritability when your usual drinking time nears, especially if alcohol isn't available


Keeping alcohol in unlikely places at home, at work or in the car


Gulping drinks, ordering doubles, becoming intoxicated intentionally to feel good or drinking to feel "normal"


Having legal problems or problems with relationships, employment or finances


Building a tolerance to alcohol so that you need an increasing number of drinks to feel alcohol's effects


Experiencing physical withdrawal symptoms 鈥?such as nausea, sweating and shaking 鈥?if you don't drink


People who abuse alcohol may experience many of the same signs and symptoms as people who are dependent on alcohol. However, alcohol abusers don't feel the same compulsion to drink and usually don't experience physical withdrawal symptoms when they don't drink. A dependence on alcohol also creates a tolerance to alcohol and the inability to control your drinking.





If you've ever wondered if your own alcohol consumption crosses the line of abuse or dependence, ask yourself these questions:





Do you need a drink as soon as you get up?


Do you feel guilty about your drinking?


Do you think you need to cut back on your alcohol consumption?


Are you annoyed when other people comment on or criticize your drinking habits?


If you answered yes to two or more questions, it's likely that you have a problem with alcohol. Even one yes answer may indicate a problem. (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/alcohol...

theres a possibility
Vomiting/ sweating are symptoms of alcoholism?
didnt quite get your question. It can be a symptom only if a persone drinks too much of alcohol and also depends if that person is really alcoholic, coz it differs in every person
Reply:Not always. Could be infuenza!! Need a little more info please
Reply:The reason for these symptoms is because there is something in your system that your body can't handle and needs to get it out, this is why you vomit or in some cases diarrhea, is there something that you have taken too much of or taken that you haven't tried before. go an see a doctor if it continues after 24 hours.
Reply:sure. If you get hungover!
