Little issue with my drink

Rebecca Thomas, I am inclined to agree that your stomach is likely the culprit here. My own issues were somewhat more convoluted in nature; for instance, my consumption reached such levels that I genuinely began to notice a decline in my cognitive functions. Every single time I had a night of heavy drinking, the subsequent hangovers grew increasingly debilitating, eventually spiraling into multi-day bouts of nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal distress. Furthermore, because I was consuming roughly twenty Advil Forte tablets every month just to cope with the sheer volume of alcohol, when you aggregate all those factors, I am frankly just relieved that my stomach hasn't completely failed me yet. 😁
I am only 21 myself. 😉
By the way, one cannot simply become an alcoholic overnight unless they have been drinking for years; while one might succumb to heroin in a matter of days, alcoholism is a much slower, more insidious process.
You need to cut back on the booze.
Besides, liver function is easily identified through a standard blood panel.
Once you cease drinking, the pains and similar symptoms will dissipate, though you should be aware that your tolerance will drop significantly, so do not overindulge when you eventually decide to drink again.
Good luck, and please, go drink some tea. 😘

I don't think it's my stomach. The issues are primarily neurological—weakness in my hands, brain fog, just general disorientation...
Anyway, thanks to everyone... I guess there's nothing left to do but head down to the local diner and face it.😬
And if you could, ask your friend and let me know what they say.🙏

What do you drink when you’re feeling down? You might want to try something stronger to feel better...🤣 Just kidding.

🙂 Let’s not go that far... lol

I mean, can you really blame yourself if you're drinking the cheap stuff? Beer... man...

Just stick to some good old-fashioned bourbon—it’s not even booze at that point, it’s basically medicine. You'll see, you'll wake up feeling like a brand new person tomorrow morning.

Let’s be clear: I am not discussing the quality of the spirits here. My point is that, generally speaking, wine is actually quite healthy. Besides, one drink from a subpar bottle shouldn't realistically leave you feeling wrecked for days on end.🙄

Look, it’s possible you're just sensitive to certain ingredients, like alcohol, 😈
or maybe it's an allergy... anything is possible, really.

My issues started this summer and they just won't quit. Every single time I have any alcohol, the next day feels completely off—my hands and legs feel weak, just shaky. And I'll get nauseous in the middle of the night, too. I know what people are going to say—either "go see a doctor" or "just stop drinking"—but I actually went to the doctor recently for some other stuff and had a full blood panel done. Everything came back perfectly normal, and we all know bloodwork doesn't lie...
Now, stopping drinking isn't a bad thing, but these symptoms hit me even after just one beer... it really makes me wonder...😕
Has anyone else dealt with something similar, or does anyone know what might be going on?🙄

Hey there!
I read your post and I'm in the exact same boat. Over the summer, I fell into this habit of having three or four beers every evening—not that it seems like much, but I always end up staying out until midnight, 1, maybe 2 AM. When I wake up the next morning, it's a total disaster. It's awful. I can't handle anything; I feel incredibly weak, and if I have a cigarette, the dizziness kicks in immediately. I've been smoking for a long time, so I know I should have moved past the initial dizziness phase years ago, but lately, it only happens after I drink.
So, what did I do? I told myself I'd go to the bar but I wouldn't drink. That lasted maybe three days before I was right back at it—and I've tried that cycle several times now.
Don't sweat it, though, because I found a workaround: just don't go to that specific bar where you usually hang out. Go somewhere totally different where nobody knows you, and bring along a friend who doesn't drink at all. After about two weeks, you'll feel like a brand-new person—you just have to stick to it. The craving is only intense for those first few days; you'll feel like something is missing, but trust me, it's not as big a deal as it seems. Hopefully, that helps a bit.

I suppose we have no other choice... abstinence is the ultimate cure for everything...🤣 😂

Just keep drinking! It’ll get better!

Abstinence!?
Cut out booze, coffee, sex... then what's the point of living?
It’s not easy to just quit cold turkey.
"Drink a little—but drink right," some old beer commercial used to say back in the day. I think you just need to cut down on the stuff that messes with you. From what I gather, you're into beer and wine. Both can be fine, especially red wine. But those cheap wines? They're loaded with sulfites to stop them from spoiling, and that's exactly what gives you a massive headache. If you're gonna drink, maybe try something clear and hard instead—like a vodka soda or a vodka tonic with some juice. Just don't overdo it.🙂 🙂
