I have had your cramp sir. I never ever get cramps normally but after drinking i have had the calf cramp you speak of. The pain truely is, pain in a new fashion. I remember the first time i got it it hurt so bad i jumped out of bed not knowing what was going on. I think i even had tears running from my eyes (i've broken my arm and that was nothing in comparision). Sudden pain at night is one strange thing and something you don't expect which makes it so much worse.
I've had it a few times since (again only after heavy drinking) but the first time is the worse time. If you ever get it try to keep calm and apply pressure on (massage it for all you're worth).
I think its due to dehydration to i just know i drink water before i sleep now and it hasn't happened recently.
