The Two Worlds of Charlie F

Question by irishblueshirtnyc: Still thirsty three days after a night out drinking alcohol?
I’m a 29 year old male and have been drinking regularly since I was about 16. I’m a binge drinker so when I’m out I’ll knock back copious amounts of drinks, perhaps 11 or more each night I go out. I go out usually 2 nights a week and I’ve been doing this for years.

I tend to have about 10 cigs as well when I’m out, but don’t smoke otherwise. I usually switch drinks during the night, like I’ll have Vodka tonics, then beer, then shots like whiskey. I tend to drink from about 8 or so until 4 am when the bars close here.

For the past 10 months or so I’ve been thirsty several days after drinking. I realize drinking dehydrates but this seems a bit much. Just went out fairly hard on Wednesday night and didn’t drink water while I was out, but did drink a lot of smart water w/ electrolytes when I got home.
