What Are The Side Effects Of Alcohol Consumption?

Hello, I'm a 25 year old female. On New Years I consumed alcohol and cocaine which gave me many hours of blackouts. On the 2nd I took a concerta (ritalin?) tablet, and ever since I've been feeling very dizzy and like my head is vibrating. It also feels like I can't think as "fast" as Im used to.
Other than that Im a healthy individual, but right now I feel tired and I have a cold. Not to mention very worried.
I have finals coming up and really need to study, but it doesn't feel like anything will stick in my head.
Is this psychological? Will it pass?
Please help!

Hi.


I had gone through your query.

Alcohol and cocaine abuse can lead to physical and psychological ill health.

Both of them lead to intoxication and withdrawal when you cut it down from chronic use.

The symptoms that have you mentioned are due to effect of alcohol on CNS and it is act as CNS depressant.

Long term use can lead to cancer and psychological disorder.
Better to avoid it and go for De addiction program and rehabilitation for better health.

Consult psychiatrist and get advise from him.

I hope i have answered your query.

Thank you.
