Whenever I drink, my sleep pattern becomes disturbed.
I had one drink last night with a meal, and I woke up an hour ago (3:30am) and still awake. It seems to happen every time I drink now, not just tonight.
Does it happen to anyone else?

Is this something that's started recently? One drink shouldn't really have too much of an effect but all of our bodies react differently. Alcohol has a diuretic effect which means it encourgaes you to wee more than usual, it may be that you wake up because you need the toilet?
Also sounds like the waking up part might not be so bad if you could get back to sleep quickly? Do you sleep through normally when you haven't been drinking?
I hope it settles down for you soon
i have been drinking tonight, so let's see what happens....
