Ok so my husband is stupid.?!
Question: He's not a big drinker. He drinks beer pretty regularly and occasionally he will have a boubon and coke or rum and coke.
Monday night, he drank 3 rum and cokes. an entire half pint of rum. He was sick on Tuesday and a little better yesterday but still dizzy and shakey. Today, he is still pretty shakey and dizzy.
Should I be worried? or is this just the withdrawal? He keeps saying that the room is spinning and he likens it to when he had a bout of vertigo last year. Part of me is worried and part of me is saying this is what you get when you are STUPID!
Any answers would be appreciated.

Though a "normal hangover" usually lasts about 24 hours or so, your husband may have given himself a mild case of alcohol poisoning.
You make it sound like he doesn't drink too much, so to a regular partier, 3 drinks doesn't seem much.
Also note that many people pour doubles without realizing it, so he may really have had upwards of six drinks.
He obviously whacked out his blood sugar (over drinking does that too), and depleted his vitamins, so if he is progressively feeling better and not worse, then it is probably not worthy of a hospital visit now.
Consider though that this episode may have uncovered a silent case of pre-diabetes, so consider having a test to check. If the cause of his "vertigo" was not formally diagnosed, then have it examined. Blood pressure too.
Beer consumption from cans is easier to monitor. Use a shot glass when mixing drinks because "eyeballing" (particularly after your first two) gets a lot less accurate in the throes of a party.
A daily multivitamin, extra C, lots of water to flush and minimal sugar intake will help detoxing along.
Offer him another drink.
His body should may metabolized the alcohol already. I would get him to the doctor/ER asap.
This could be a diabetic low blood sugar level.
You need to tell him to not drink as much. It may be him seeing the room spinning, and the next he'll be in a car drunk. You don't want that. Tell him to take it easy on the beer and rum and stuff. It's for his own good.
Tuesday might have been rough; Wednesday and Thursday? That's a long time to blame on alcohol.
Your husband is an alcoholic. His liver is probably shot from all that drinking. Until he decides he's had enough of beating his body up and making a fool of himself, not anything you can do 'cept protect yourself.
He could be having a diabetic reaction, or he might be wanting you to baby him.

If he had "vertigo" last year I would make sure he goes to the doctor asap to get the ok from them. I would also let the doctor know he had "vertigo" last year. Is he drinking water or eating anything? He may have low blood sugar but I still would just get things checked out. It is 3 days later and still hung over- shouldn't take that long to wear off.
i think he needs a doctor
maybe something happen to him under so much
could be also withdrawls which can be dangerous also
the doc might give him something
however make sure he eats and drink plenty of water
Please consult your Doctor immediately to exclude an associated chronic Neuritis or a Korsakoff's syndrome/psychosis etc.,.
my partner did the same thing last week. he drank WAY too much vodka, made himself sicker than a dog and was shakey, dizzy, lightheaded and not thinking clearly for a day and a half (after sobering up). But he normally does drink (although not that much), so it was just another night of laughing at him, then going to bed and ignoring him.....
If he's not any better today, you better see that he gets to a doctor. Nothing abnormal with feeling bad a day later, but when its been 3 days, well, it sounds a bit too long for a hangover. go to a doctor and hope its a wasted trip...better to go and not need it than need it and not go.
You're probably right on both halves! As a wife you always worry even when your husband doesn't and you also get upset that you're the only one doing the worrying! I don't drink so really can't give you any insight into his condition but if he'll go to a doctor,have him go. My experience is most guys won't go!
