touch and pain sensations are carried by the nerves in the body. If anything is wrong with that then the involvement of the nerves is strongly suspected. Alcoholic are prone to develop Peripheral neuropathy. But the sudden onset may be due to entrapment neuropathy due to malposition due to heavy drinking. In that case it should be ok within a day or two. If not consult your doctor for help.

Hello, touch and pain sensations are carried by the nerves in the body. If anything is wrong with that then the involvement of the nerves is strongly suspected. Alcoholic are prone to develop Peripheral neuropathy. But the sudden onset may be due to entrapment neuropathy due to malposition due to heavy drinking.
