Anxiety? From drinking? I don't think I've experienced that. I have plenty of other sources for it though so maybe that's why. Like Tom, I know when to stop (and usually do) before I run into hangover territory.

Re: Shamerd my assgerfed
I was just reading an article that claimed that hangover anxiety is a prime motivator of alcoholism. The best cure for next-day anxiety is to drink some more to level it out, so it just perpetuates. I can see it.revbob wrote: ↑16 Sep 2019, 4:55pmAnxiety? From drinking? I don't think I've experienced that. I have plenty of other sources for it though so maybe that's why.

Re: Shamerd my assgerfed
It's generalized. A feeling of unease that's not necessarily tied to anything (though of course if it is, then it's even worse). But from what I understand it's a fairly common hangover effect. As I recall from the article I read, it has something to do with the increased dopamine from the drinking going back down to normal levels that creates the anxiety. It's like a mini-withdrawal.revbob wrote: ↑16 Sep 2019, 5:05pmSo you're anxious about having a hangover?

Re: Shamerd my assgerfed
Ok interesting. Like I said I am anxious about any number of things from one moment to the next. Not to blame my kids, but its my kids.Kory wrote: ↑16 Sep 2019, 5:18pmIt's generalized.

Re: Shamerd my assgerfed
My physiology would never allow it. When I got a bad hangover, I could barely keep down water. More alcohol would be up in a heartbeat. My hangovers were spent sweating, regretting, and hoping for death's release. It's why I quit drinking altogether for several years and why I've done my best not to get seriously drunk since starting up again.

Yeah this describes my experiences. Ive gone like a whole month of not drinking if I get a moderate to severe hangover.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑20 Sep 2019, 8:10pmMy physiology would never allow it.

Re: Shamerd my assgerfed
One upside of making my own wine and building up a big supply is that I drink wine pretty much every night and have built up a good tolerance, so on nights out when I drink a bit more than I normally would, the effects aren't traumatic. But that fear of a hangover that will destroy an entire day never leaves.revbob wrote: ↑20 Sep 2019, 8:44pmYeah this describes my experiences.

Re: Shamerd my assgerfed
Pretty sure I'm drinking tramp cider but it's bitter and sharp as hell, just how I like it. Bloody strong too, good job I'm off tomorrow. End of a shit week, things can only go on the up. That begins now, just got back off a long walk with dog, in the garden now with said cider. It's pretty much pitch black but cool and the breeze is just enough to be calming. Got Tighten Up Vol. 88 on the headphones, it's a nice evening.

Re: Shamerd my assgerfed
It's been one of the best nights in a while, just chilling out listening to good music and having a drink. To be relaxed these days comes very rarely.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑21 Sep 2019, 4:42pmAll told, that seems pretty decent (minus the job shit).BitterTom wrote: ↑21 Sep 2019, 4:04pmPretty sure I'm drinking tramp cider but it's bitter and sharp as hell, just how I like it.

Thankfully she's asleep by 9, usually. Far too late for her age but at least I get to see her when I come in from work. Then it's chill out time. Up at 5 no doubt though!101Walterton wrote: ↑21 Sep 2019, 5:35pmI expect the baby is quiet when you have the headphones onBitterTom wrote: ↑21 Sep 2019, 5:12pmIt's been one of the best nights in a while, just chilling out listening to good music and having a drink.

Re: Shamerd my assgerfed
Change drink to drinks and this was how I spent most of my summer. I really would lose my mind without music.BitterTom wrote: ↑21 Sep 2019, 5:12pmIt's been one of the best nights in a while, just chilling out listening to good music and having a drink.
