8 Common Causes of Excessive Sweating

Alcohol Abuse

Alcoholic drinks have many effects on the circulatory system, central nervous system, and many other parts of the body. Consuming these drinks would trigger excessive sweating by widening your blood vessels and increasing your heart rate. Keep in mind that this process does not remove all of the alcohol from the body. Instead, the liver breaks down most of it. Making yourself sweat or having night sweats does not help with getting rid of alcohol from the body quicker. Alcohol withdrawal may also trigger night sweats, but this is only a temporary effect. [8]
