Can alcohol cause fever?
After a night of drinking, I sometimes feel flushed and warm, almost like I have a low-grade fever, even if I don't. Is this just me, or can alcohol actually cause a fever?

Alcohol severely dehydrates you, which can mess with your body's temperature regulation and make you feel feverish. If you are actually running a high temperature, skip your workouts completely and rest. Focus on replenishing electrolytes and see if the fever goes down.

Alcohol can sometimes cause a warm flush, but an actual fever usually means your body is fighting an infection. Make sure you are eating clean, light, home-cooked food right now to help your system recover. Avoid heavy or greasy food and drink plenty of warm water.

Beta, alcohol is very heating for the body and can upset your system, sometimes leading to a mild feverish feeling. You should drink some warm tulsi and ginger water to soothe your stomach. But if the fever is high, do not rely on home remedies and visit a doctor immediately.

It can feel really scary when you get a fever after drinking. Please take rest and keep yourself hydrated with plain water or coconut water. If the fever doesn't go away by tomorrow, it would be best to consult a doctor.
