Although out of the ordinary, monday was not the only time I've out either during a short period. I also got quite drunk on saturday and the weekend before .. a rarity with me.
Now it's thursday, I still feel like I have a hangover. On tuesday, I was just woozy. I was still a little drunk most of that day, I think. During the night to wednesday, I started getting worse - couldn't get much sleep and woke up feeling real woozy, even worse than tuesday and I don't want to eat anything and I couldn't even be arsed to browse the forums because it took more concentration than I was able to conjure up. Light aches in much of the stomach, the thought of food does not appeal. Now it's thursday and I'm just a tiny bit better .. At least I'm posting!
But it's still pretty bad when I'm up and about, so I'm gonna stick to the couch.
So what is this? Did I just get too much and it takes a while to detoxify? A normal night out usually doesn't make me feel like this, but maybe I overstepped some threshold? Could it be alcohol withdrawal? I figure some of you guys have more experience with this sort of stuff than I do. 
If I ever feel good again, I'm gonna give up the booze. I mean it this time! |
It's alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
They usually occur when someone with lower tolerance decides to drink heavily for a protracted period of time (as in, across a weekend). It's the first step of the body's natural progression to physical dependency on alcohol. I've had them before and it scared me sh
itless, I haven't stopped drinking since but I certainly don't look to get drunk like I did before.
Water, bedrest and a few days' detox should help you sort it out. I know it's difficult to eat but you should still look to have a few light meals a day.
