What Causes Difficulty In Walking Post Alcohol Consumption?
Question: I have gone on vacatin to vegas and I have been having a kinda druncken feeling but I don't drink I have been having a hard time thinking and I feel as if I am on a boat on the waves trying to walk. iwas wondering if the second hand smoke from the casinos could be causing this feeling?

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Second hand smoke can cause breathing difficulties but not difficulty with thinking and walking.
Is there any possibility that your non alcoholic drinks might have been spiked?
Another thing I can think of is that if you have developed some vertigo (which happens to people occasionally), this could explain the difficulty walking. Vertigo is the type of dizziness where it feels like the room is spinning.
Sleep deprivation can cause a variety of autonomic symptoms in people who are more susceptible, and perhaps your sleeping is diminished right now?
But no, I would not expect these symptoms from inhaling second hand smoke.
I hope you feel better soon!
