Yes of course, everyone on here that drank has. It usually happens when you are not used to alcohol and the amount in the blood stream takes over. I'm sure it leads up to alcholic hepatitis of the liver. That is a blood disorder created from constant alcohol in the blood. Try not to think the worst and stop Googling..... Danny x

Yes, it leads to a trip to a&e usually. Severity is on a spectrum from just a really bad hangover to hepatitis or even death. As anyone that has been unfortunate to find themselves in an a&e department on a Friday or Saturday night can attest to - it can be quite common amongst the younger population.

As Danny has mentioned, I really would stop googling and wait and see what the doctors say. You are giving yourself unwarranted anxiety which won’t help anyone 🙂
