Trouble sleeping after drinking can be tricky, you do work out your liver a lot while drinking. But not being able to sleep may be caused by you having way to much on your mind, or you simply might have just be still in the stimulant style phase of the alcohol!

GABA activity & norepinephrine levels have real effects but so does having to pee every 20 minutes.

It may be because alcohol makes you feel more excited and more active than you really are, your body may not understand it as like you want to sleep or is in an alert state.

Alcohol can act as a depressant so affect your stimulation. You can tend to overthink and overanalyse.

Maybe you have too much on your mind that your mind is over-reacting at night time. Try relaxing excersizes before bed.

Alcohol is a downer and dehydrates you, so naturally you would have issues with sleep. It slows down your respiratory system so your organs (particularly liver) have to work much harder than usual

I think alcohol forces your body to work in an unusual way, numbing your blood pressure, and confusing your brain cells to get your body ready for sleep.

Perhaps, you may have low tolerance for alcohol, which I have observed in some of my friends before. However, to positively be sure, you may want to speak with a medical professional, who has the qualifications to help you determine why this issue keeps happening.

Alcohol is a depressant and will not help you to sleep, it can often make you feel dizzy or sick which doesn't help
