Feeling Dizzy And Lack Of Concentration After Drinking Vodka. What Is The Suggestion?

4 days ago I drank rather a lot of vodka, something of which I don't usually drink (although I do drink wine and real ales) and basically I had a hangover, although the hangover was worst two days later where I had vomited a couple of times. I managed to get to work but did not really get the right amount of sleep (very tired) and today i'm still dizzy and feel a lack of concentration. I'm worried I may have slightly damaged my brain. It's now Monday and I drank heavily last Thursday night. I'm female, 37 and of average weight and height.

Hello
It looks like you are having withdrawal symptoms of alcohol abuse. It usually occurs within few hours of alcohol use. If the withdrawal symptoms are severe then you can visit a psychiatrist who can help you with medications to relieve your withdrawal symptoms.
