Waking up with really bad shakes after drinking alcohol?

Can anyone advise me on this.

I am a light drinker, I have maybe 1-2 glasses of wine a week.
The last 3 times I have had a glass of wine though I have came home and gone to bes as normal but woken in the night shaking uncontrollably, I am not cold but shivering loads like when I have a fever.
I never drink to the point of being 'drunk' I am always coherent and this has only just started happening.
Should I be concerned?

It doesn't sound normal. I do get a very mild version of this sometimes. I'm not a big drinker at all, but if I've had one or two glasses of wine in an evening, the next day I can feel a bit shaky. I always put it down to the alcohol playing a bit of havoc with my blood sugar.

I've never been great with alcohol anyway.

Maybe a trip to the docs?

I thought blood sugar too when i read your title. i hardly drink but when i do, until i get my blood sugar sorted ,I feel wibbly, like I used to when I'd had loads toidrink in my youth! I did have diabetic issues when pg though so am quite aware of my blood sugars.
