Dear User,
Thanks for using health care magic.

It is quite common to have such kind of symptoms if someone takes extra amount of alcohol in short duration of time. The effect of alcohol greatly varies from person to person and it depends on the genetic factors.

Development of chills and shakes is not a common phenomenon and there are chance of incidental viral infection. If your symptom continue even after 20 hours of last alcohol intake than you need to see a doctor.
