Night sweats are a symptom of menopause characterized by sudden bursts of heat and perspiration followed by rapid cooling causing chills. It is believed that hot flashes and night sweats are caused by fluctuating hormone levels before, during, and after menopause. Alcohol can exacerbate the symptoms of night sweats for a number of reasons.
