My advice would be to stop drinking in that case - then you wont get sick.

I would also go to the doctor, explain what is happening, and get it checked out to make sure nothing is wrong.

How much do you drink when this happens and what kind of drinks are you having? I always was anxious when I binged and had 2 day hangovers - alcohol is an inflammatory substance which impacts circulation. If you can't control the drink, maybe it's a sign to just stop before something bad happens. If you drink a couple of drinks and do not have anxiety the next day or sickness the following, then I'd say the bingeing is a problem.

Sometimes we do the things we do not want to do. Substance abuse, no matter what drug, even pharmaceuticals are abused not because we are weak and weak willed, but because they are highly addictive and do to the body something we think is good (in the moment). A "drug" for us can even be the computer and that can even become "addictive".

In the spiritual realm, I DO believe there is war against our souls and whatever it takes to bring us down and tempt us will be used against us. We all have our "targets" for the destroyer who would love nothing better than destroy a soul rather than what God wants for us and that is to live life free and to the full.

I can relate to you saying you shouldn't drink on your days off. I was a binge drinker and loved drinking home alone where I didn't have to get any slack from anyone. I'd usually drink too much and for a time, I would fear taking off work because of the temptation to drink. I can easily enjoy my "days off" now alcohol free and I've been very joyful and content just doing what many would think as mundane things, but they are worthwhile things because the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace and self-control. And I want all those things - I know what the other things are - things I was ashamed of and at 51, I told myself it's time to grow up and loose the bonds of destruction. There's a lot of fun waiting for ya in the sober life - go get it.
