why is it that when an alcoholic stops drinking alcohol they become sick even though alcohol is incredibly bad for us, what is happening in our body that makes us sick for not having it?
In: Biology
If you’re drunk for lot of consecutive days your body/brain floods your bloodstream with adrenaline and cortisol basically to keep you alive because the alcohol is slowing down your heart and other systems. When you stop it takes several days for the brain to realize it can cut back production of adrenaline and cortisol to normal levels. This is major contributor to people shaking, heart racing , sweating and not being able to sleep., high blood pressure.
Other people explained the rest pretty well but I figured I’d mention that.
