I am an alcoholic and do not sweat at night when I drink. It seems to only be really bad (covered head to toe in sweat) on night when I don’t drink. I have also read that if you have chronic heartburn (I do) or take any of the medications for it (I do) night sweats my be a byproduct of doing so.

The fact is also after a number of months or even years of drinking alcohol every night could be a case where the body gets use to it on a certain level, and if you minimize the alcohol you consume to a minimum this i think can cause sweating at night as your body is use to it.. this should also gradually get better the less alcohol you consume!!

It probably takes more than a week to figure this out for sure and I think that the best way to get rid of night sweats from alcohol is to just quit drinking alcohol in large amounts for ever. Alcohol was and will never be good in excessive amounts, so it’s best to just stay away from it.

The question is how long you need to quit drinking to determine if the alcohol is causing the night sweats or not. Some doctors say if you don’t drink that day and you still sweat that night, then it’s not the alcohol. Other doctors say you need to stop drinking for a couple of months to be sure.
