Argh, I don't feel too good

Guybrush · 04-01-2010, 06:04 AM

Heya guys!

A few days ago, on monday, I got really drunk. Really drunk is actually an understatement, there was just a lot of liquor and I'm the sort who'll drink until I pass out. For this reason, I've been trying to stay away from drinking too often, I'm just a bit too fond of the juice and my judgment sucks when I'm drunk. 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!

If you're still felling ill several days after drinking you may want to consider going to a doctor, seriously.

Ha...because we've never heard that before.

Is it possible you were getting sick anyway? I'm with Janszoon...maybe you should go to the doc.

It's easter holidays and I don't think I can get an appointment

(My doctor is from the university and it basically takes a month to get an appointment with them)

Go out for a jog.

Well I got like this when I had a red wine hangover (it was maybe, 2 weeks ago).. When I felt my hangover wasn't going to end soon, I just got drunk on beer, as I usually have a joyful hangover the next day.
It worked alright. I think you should just filter out the kinds of alcohol that make you feel bad.

I don't really think it's the effect of the hangover anymore. I've been out for long walks to see if that would help, but it doesn't - at best it makes it worse. I feel like I can't mentally process all the things I see outside so it feels a bit like I'm walking in a dream.

I'm just gonna stick to the couch until I can get an appointment with a doctor. Maybe I have a tired kidney or maybe it's something completely different.

Don't be surprised if you don't see much of me the next days. Hopefully, it'll clear up soon.

It could be your liver or something? If your still feeling ill after easter holidays I would also strongly suggest you go see a doctor.

Go to a readiclinic or something. I wouldn't wait a month.

Get well soon Tore. You could have got mild alcohol poisoning. It's much more common than you think and a whole bunch of factors may have exacerbated it such as not eating enough that day or even the day before, stress (even if you don't FEEL stressed men are useless at letting it out and instead it manifests physically instead of mentally sometimes).

Not that I'm an expert (although you know that I partake regularly of alcohol) if it was
your liver then you would be getting a few twinges and maybe some 'waterworks' trouble too. I do think it was mild alcohol poisoning but get checked out soon to be on the safe side mate.
