what causes “the spins”? Or, rather the feeling of spinning while intoxicated; especially on THC and alcohol at the same time?

Question

I, and others that I know, have experienced “the spins”, spinning feeling, from consuming alcohol and THC together in varying degrees. Why does one experience this, and why do these substances cause it?

Interesting that both BPPV (benign positional paroxysmal vertigo) and your combo cause nystagmus (jerking of the eyes), which cops check for during sobriety checks.
