Hi, Ella. Welcome to SR.

There is a great thread here called "quitting, what to expect." Someone will be along soon to post the thread. You will get lots of information and advice from that.

In the meantime, pull up a chair and keep posting. We're here to support you! Hang in there just for the next 5 minutes, hour and day. It really DOES get better.

The answer to your 1st Question is yes you can be Alcholic after one binge Remember its not how much you drink but what happens to you when you drink.
2nd= that depends on how long you been on the booze this can be anything from light headaches to full blowen internal meltdown. Wetbrains is the term used in this cases.
But sitch around its a great group and foram site
