Hangovers vs. Withdrawals
Hey guys,
So, I've been reading around the newcomers forum and reading a lot of detox stories, the typical detox story involving cold sweats, shakiness, restlessness, and vomiting. This is a pretty apt description of my hangovers I had, nearly on a daily basis until I started drinking again or just pushed through until the next day or sometimes the day after, if I didn't happen to drink that day (rare occasion...). Now, I thought hangovers were just the result of extreme dehydration and basically your body recovering from putting so much energy into processing the alcohol.
I guess I'm just a little confused. Was I experiencing withdrawals every morning? Is that normal? Are hangovers the same thing?
