Anyone see alcohol lowers sweating?

I always find that whenever I drink alcohol I don't sweat at all, in combination with Ditropan its pretty much 100% no sweat, although the combo could be hell to my liver. Has anyone noticed this? Along with the buzz of being drunk and lack of sweating I've started drinking whenever I can and starting to crave it a bit, might have to calm it down.

If anything alcohol makes me sweat more, especially as some types make my face flush, plus the sweats i get with a hangover are terrible.

Yes, it seems I sweat less when I'm drunk or at least partially drunk... But how do I know if I really sweat less or if I just seem to sweat less because when I am drunk I just pay less attention?

alcocol is good, but next whole day youll be sweating even much more , even if you dont have hangover . This is just short-term thing, not as close to the solution of HH problem

like hels, I show facial blushing and more sweating if I drink. But hey, if it works for you....

I don't see any increase or decrease in sweating the day after. I don't get hangovers, I've found ever since I drink 2 pints of water (or more depending on how much i've drunk) before I go to sleep I don't get a hangover.

i drink alcohol and its good at the time, i dont sweat until the next day though.

i do drink about 6 or 7 pints of water per day. i think by doing that i avoid hangovers

if ditropan is a benzo/sedative then it should have no effect on your liver or kidneys (some expert told me that!).

Funny, alchol seems to do just the OPPOSITE to me. It makes me sweat like crazy! Well, only if I've drinked 2 much and am drunk.

Maybe it relaxes you and that's why you're not sweating because you're not worrying?

Alcohol causes dehydration. That is why some stop sweating when you drink it. For other people, alcohol causes increased blood flow to the skin. Our body feels overheated and they try to cool off by sweating.
