Does Alcohol Withdrawal Cause Headaches?

Alcohol withdrawal headaches are a common side effect as your body begins to detox from the substance.

If you’re struggling with moderate to severe alcohol dependence, stopping use without the proper medical supervision can cause life-threatening symptoms. It’s vital that you reach out to a medical detox center if you’re ready to quit drinking.
