Alcohol ''comedown''?

Hmm, I guess on a weekly basis it makes sense. I've been awake for too many hours to read the original article in depth and make sense of it but I'm still having doubts since they don't include many specifics. I suppose it doesn't help my case, I "binge" once every 2-3 months on the same amount of alcohol as I used to drink at least once weekly. I'm still failing to see how giving my body a much longer recuperation period in between imbibing is worse than assaulting it with moderate to large amounts of booze a few times a week, but I trust their experiments have been more formal than mine.

 

oh, ok. i guess they both sound a bit penisy.

the data raises alarms bells as it was compared with france. the french are some of the worst drinkers, as are the irish. they are basically the same, just the irish prefer beer and the french prefer wine.

 

No need to get testy...

 

Good point.. as I was eluding to (not very eloquently) I have almost nothing in common, that I can see, with the drinkers who participated in the study.

 

stop hitting on me.

 

This is true. I think, for a male at least, it's to do with the diuretec effect of alcohol, I'm not exactly sure how it works but when I wake up rattling from booze I've always got a proper lob on.

 

3 pints constitutes a binge??? Pfft.

 

I know hahaha for me a binge is drinking like 20 beers or a fifth a day for weeks or even months lol.

 

That's what I was thinking. What a bunch of pussies.

 

hahaha seriouslY!

 

Alcohol is really only drug that gives me depressino next day. Amphetamine has never made me depressed when coming down, but if I drink lots I feel aphaty, depression, anxiety and just want to die.

 

I call it alcohol remorse - especially when you do and and say things you wouldn't when sober.Post alcohol depression is like a jaded washed out feeling.I know it well.

 

I'm usually the same! I sometimes have more fun at work hungover, like really energetic and talkative and happy, than if I went to bed really early. It doesn't ALWAYS happen, but at least 70% of the time.

It's so weird

 

I was drinking yesterday, and during the evening i felt very anxious and depressed.

I feel the same thing today but its a little better now.

 

I saw that I posted this in the thread back in 2011. I am very disturbed that I now have absolutely no recollection of this evening. I don't know who the friend was or what part of town I was walking or where and why I was crying in the street.

I wonder how many chunks of time in my life I just don't remember. How strange.

 

life is sad and depressing.

Alcohol takes some of the pain away.
