Hi, I only drink wine Friday night and Saturday lunchtime. I drink at most 250 ml of 5% alcohol. I am 66 years old. I have had below knee cramps all my life which I can get rid of by pulling my toes up.
In the last 4 weeks on Friday nights only, I have been getting cramps about 6 hours after drinking wine whilst asleep. The cramp is sharper and more localized than normal cramps and is about 6 inches above my knee and probably in my vastus lateralis. Very painful and I get rid of pain in about 1 minute by weight bearing. Good luck, Michael
