Hangover Anxiety

Question to you hardcore drinkers:

So lately (last couple of months) my hangovers were sometimes accompanied with mental "irregularities" on top of the usual physical effects. I've never really been too affected by hangovers...long sleep, good shit, cold shower and OJ did the trick and I felt newborn. Recently, though, I've sometimes experienced little waves of nerviness on the following day. It started one Sunday with a small-scale panic/claustrophobia attack for a few mins in the subway, which was a bit scary since totally out of nowhere. Ever since I can be almost sure that throughout the hangover day I'll feel "uncomofrtable" and detached, which as far as I know is typical for comedowns from other drugs but not alcohol. I'm by no means a regular drinker, dont get the wrong impression. Just the occasional weekend adventure...Also, I dont suffer from any mental difficulties other than that. Not that I know of at least ...still a bit worrying, or is it? My theory is that I'm just getting old.

Nothing to worry about.

Just the alcohol burning what's left of your brain cells and turning you into a vegetable.

Yep, you're getting old. Welcome to the the 25+ age bracket. Sucker.

24.5 actually. But yeah, it definitely looks like an aging thing. Damn.

You're getting old, and the tolerance you have developed is causing you to drink more. The extra drinks are starting to take a toll on your body that you didn't notice before. The body is reacting in odd ways because as said before, it's still trying to process/get rid of the alcohol in your body.

+1 to that. In many ways, binge drinking at weekends only can be just as dangerous as having a beer once or twice a day through the week. Keep off it for as long as you can stand and allow your body and liver/affected organs to recuperate somewhat.

This is your body telling you that it is time to switch from alcohol to drugs

There's you problem right there. You've already decided you're going to have a bad time.

Slow down. Take a break from it all for a month or two and you'll reap the rewards.

Has nothing to do with getting older or your body. Its in your head! Maybe things are changing in your life? Maybe your not happy with something. I cant do this stuff anymore because of reasons such as anxiety and depersonalization. Taking a break is probably the best thing to do!

mmmh....some reasonable pieces of advice, it's a little bit of everything I guess. Kinda correlates with a very dull shitty phase of a 9-5 job, which I just quit some weeks ago, which was also the time I started regular running/swimming again. If I'll find an additional subconscious trigger I'll let you know asap of course

A break is definitely a start, though.

Yeah, as someone before had said beforehand, it could be a combination of different things in your life. State of mind and how your feeling emotionally plays a big role, along with diet, exercise, the amount of alcohol you drink at weekends. So it may not just be one aspect you can pinpoint and try to change to better your health, it might be all of the above contributing to make you feel the way you do.

So congregate all of the above and change what you feel is necessary and action

Everyone's body reacts differently to various substances.

Some people can snort coke every week for twenty years and come out the other side relatively unharmed, while others go off the deep end on their tenth try.

Others can take acid for years, while some might flip out and be hospitalised the first time they try.

My point here is that everyone's brain chemistry is different. It might just be that alcohol, or at least large amounts of it, is not your thing.

Bad luck.

p.s has anyone ever had post-alcohol euphoria? It's only happened to me once, it's the weirdest feeling, you're hungover the next day but insanely happy and energetic. An alcoholic told me he used to get it every so often.

Yeah, Anxiety is a bitch isnt it?

I too suffer from anxiety after a good drinking session of a weekend, anxiety is such a powerful condition aswell, you can have full scale heart attack symptoms amoung other nasties, panic attacks, fear of losing your mind. Then in a few days you wonder what the fu*k all the fuss was about, but really anxiety at its worst is severe.

If you think its gonna cause you future problems then have a word with your Doctor and be prepared for the do you smoke marijuana question. And also with anxiety comes depression, the two are good friends, you may get prozac then

It is a fact that smoking marijuana, or long term abuse of it will cause anxiety.

But As my old fashioned Docter said to me "Its all in your head son"

Posted by TranceGiant on Jun-19-2008 21:22:

two facts:
I've been drinking more regularly and heavier in my teenage years and didnt have any problems then.

Only other drug has been weed, very seldomly though, however I'm also at times a bit sensitive to it, meaning I sometimes need to focus on controlling thoughts and just chill out to it. Over-analysis is a bitch.

Posted by RJT on Jun-19-2008 21:27:

Regular exercise and a balanced, regular diet has really, really helped my hangovers.

I still feel much, much shittier than I did when I was 16-20, but generally not so much as when I'm out of shape.

the drinking should stop but if your feeling anxious dont stop smoking just yet, it will help you right now. Thats not a joke by the way, your so used to smoking that it could make you feel even more like shit if you stop.

i'll try...and tell u if it works ASAP...tnx anyway...

My experience with hangovers has been a changing one. The first years, 15-20 I never felt anything the day after. I think I threw up once the day after at 18, but nothing more. from 20-23 I started getting headaches and being generally in a shit shape. 23-26 it was more about the anxiety; "oh fuck nooo, why did I do that..". The latest years the anxiety has worn off, maybe because I've learned how to behave when drunk, or just realized that everyone else is just as off their knockers as I am so no one really gives a shit what I do anyway.
