Drinking alcohol when you are anemic will intensify the effect.
Being an alcoholic can cause anemia. Alcohol diminishes the bodies nutrients and vitamins from being asorbed properly. This is why you feel so crappy. Take some vitamins, and drink some OJ. That should help you feel a little better.
The effects of drinking are intensified in people with vitamin B defiencies. Good luck

why do you have to drink that much?
I have anemia and I don't drink.
