What Causes Leg And Back Pain After Alcohol Consumption?

I had a night out drinking with my husband. I had a few beers and a large mix drink with redbull. That morning I also had a redbull. The few beers where less than I can normally handle so it must of been the mix drink that tipped me over. The next day my legs and my back where aching. This pain was so horrible I could not stop moving my body or stop tensing up. Pain was shooting throught my body. It seem like only hot water would help but only temporarily. Finally I was able to control the pain by wrapping myself in a blanket over a floor heater. I have never expirenced anything like this. What could of all this pain be caused by?

The leg and back pain after alcohol consumption can happen due to decreased fluid intake and an electrolyte imbalance. You need to get your electrolyte levels checked and start with proper supplements.
