If you mean alcohol, it's probably from all the sugar and it all depends on how much alcohol you have drunk in the evening.

While drinking alcohol makes it easier to fall sleep, it actually decreases the quality of your sleep. You may want to consider using a different sleep-aid to assist you with falling asleep, to allow you to sleep soundly through the night.

Depending on what you are drinking, completely depends on how well you sleep afterwards. I recommend consuming water. If you consume water already and this issue still occurs then i suggest you go down to your local Pharmacy and ask there.

It really depends on the person. However, sleep can be impacted by the temperature of what you're drinking, the amounts of calories in the drink, how recently you've urinated, and so on. You could be tired, and then drinking something serves to wake you up some more. It really changes per person.

Because you're most likely stressed because of the drinking. Try not to. Do something different, it helps.

Consuming alcohol disrupts natural sleep cycles, which effectively means that at a certain BA, REM cycles no longer take place, causing you to sleep more lightly.

It is very beneficial to drink water before bed, there are some articles you can read as to why this helps :) But one issue could be that you over-drink and you will feel the need to use the restroom, or wake up later needing to use it. If you mean drinking alcohol that is probably because of the affects it has on your body.

Yeah, when I drink I start thinking about things that have happened and I'm either too happy or too sad to sleep. It depends on my mood before I start drinking which way it'll go but I usually avoid alcohol after 10 so that I can get to sleep (with the exception of the occasionally midnight dram of whiskey or champagne toast on New Years and special occasions).

The alcohol in your blood keeps you awake. Your mind needs to sleep the initial drunkenness off, but once it has succeeded at that (usually at some obscene hour in the morning) It is often difficult to return to sleep because the room keeps spinning!

Among many other reasons, the problem is that the alcohol interferes with the levels of cortisol in your organism. Cortisol is responsible for your body to be ready to wake up, and its levels are higher right before you wake up and is low when you are ready to sleep. Drinking mess this all up.
