Why do I feel this sick after I stopped drinking?

(Not new to the site, just new account)
So first my drinking history, I have been on and off drinking for the last few years, sometimes for a few days every day, and what is confusing is that what Im about to explain has never happend to me before.
About drinking and hangover, since Im light weight and a female, I get tipsy easily, I only need half a bottle to a bottle of wine, and with that I get light hangover with diarrhea and all that lasts about 8-12h at most (keep that in mind)

So for the last few days, about 5, I have been drinking half a bottle to a bottle every day, with typical hangover the next morning.
Today I decided not to drink. I got a normal hangover and some anxiety, but after that 8-12h I still felt bad, like imma get a fever but I didnt have it. Now is the end of the day, and normally by now I should not feel anything but I still feel bad.
I have to mention I only drank about a little less than half a bottle last night, wasnt tipsy as much, so not much to feel that bad all day.

Could this be just normal hangover or something else?
Asking more experienced folks lol.

It's withdrawal, alcohol is one of the worst addictions you can have.

Wait really? I only drank for a few days tho… doesnt I need to drink constantly for a few months to feel withdrawal or am I wrong?

Your body is having a stronger reaction because you haven't built up a tolerance but yes that is the addiction telling you to drink more.
If you do continue drinking you will drink more to get the same buzz and the withdrawal will get even worse.
I was a very heavy drinker, when I quit I was laid up for a month, even now six months later I still get shakes and tremors in my arms.
It's ruined my life, it's your decision but let me just say, it isn't worth it.

Frankly, anyone who drinks as much as you is really an alcoholic, and your body is reacting to not getting its "fix".

It's hitting your benzo receptors, the same ones drugs like Xanax use. Alcohol is basically this in recreational form but it eventually acts just the same, without that drug hitting those receptors, you are gonna start to feel withdrawal symptoms, esp if you are smaller etc (I am 5'4/90lbs I get this). Please take care of yourself as the cycle with alcohol is a pretty shit one and I think multiple people here can attest to that.

It could be something else, like a gastric ulcer. Those are quite common in heavy drinkers. If it is, that would explain the unpredictable nature of the sickness as they tend to wax and wane of their own accord. But it's hard to say what damage you have done without having testing and/or imaging performed. It's worth getting checked out if you're worried.

Seconding everyone who suggested withdrawal. I honestly don't think there's another underlying cause based on what you described, but if it persists then asking a doctor what's up wouldn't hurt.
