Generalized aches and pains the day after drinking alcohol may be caused by mild acidosis or generalized aches and pains caused by alcohol-induced gout. As a result of the stimulation of the production of large amounts of acid under the effect of alcohol, resulting in mild acidosis, the acid accumulates in the muscles, and therefore leads to the appearance of generalized soreness. Foods such as soda crackers or milk can be taken after drinking to neutralize the acids and reduce generalized soreness the next day. Generally, gout patients will have gout attacks when uric acid increases after drinking a lot of alcohol, resulting in generalized aches and pains. It is recommended to go to the hospital to check the blood uric acid, insist on taking medication to control the condition, and pay attention to gout patients should avoid drinking alcohol. But if the soreness after drinking is too long, pay attention to go to the hospital in time for examination and treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
