stop alcohol intake. as it is on any day harmful, muscle aches can be due to any other cause too be sure you are not having any anti craving agent like disulfiram or drugs that can mimic such an effect such as that can cause such aches too if there is nausea and flu like symptoms then it could be one of the reasons.
