I have just got back from a stag do in Madrid. We set off Friday morning and I drank from 6am through to 4am. Lager, Cidre, wine, shorts, spirits. Couldn't remember drinking any water and was sat most of the day out in the sun

Saturday morning I felt horrendous and didn't (couldn't) eat anything, literally trying to eat was impossible. Apparently my face was a white / light blue colour later in the day around the time I almost fainted in a bar - I went dizzy and my heart felt strange. I headed to the shops and got some bananas and some other bits then to my room to try and sleep. This didn't really work and instead had some mild hallucinations. I managed to eat the banana but it took two and a half hours

Mates came back a bit later and I got a shower then left our apartment. I got food with a mate but had one bit and was sick a bit then started shaking like a ****ing dog and went really cold. - Back to the room I went and missed the night which I feel really bad for doing :(

I have been very drunk before and never experienced anything as bad as this from drink alone.

Do you think it could have been alcohol poisoning, food poisoning, sun stroke or something else?
 
You drank beyond your limits. Learn the lesson before you do yourself permanent harm.
 
People have died from less alcohol than that due to acute hepatic failure.

Alcohol isn't like other drugs, it's toxic to most organs in the body and can kill even without excessive effects on the brain.

I saw James Herriot (Christopher Timothy on TV, not the actual James Herriot) treat a cow (can't remember if it was a bullock) by pouring cold water from a hose over it.

I don't reckon it was the actual cow though, just a cow actor.

Combination of too much drink and dehydration I reckon. Silly boy! ;)

This. When you get so far, just cut the drink out or get some food?

I've felt like a much milder version of what the OP describes since Saturday morning. Never again... till next time, etc.
 
Been there got the T-shirt. :p

Wait until you get the quivering sweating cold mess on the floor and unable to stand and your head spinning. You close to poisoning but nothing fatal. :p

Loads of OJ, water and bread even if you get one peice of toast down you it will help.

You be fine in a few days, just dont do it all the time. Last time I done it was around 3 years ago, 4 days soild on drink day and night and I learnt my lesson. ;)
