Hi all,Has anyone noticed that they are drinking more alcohol since experiencing any symptoms of menopause/perimenopause? I find that my anxiety and hormones just before a heavy period (getting them all the time and very heavy at the moment - I'm 48) are out of control. The only way to calm me down is with alcohol and obviously that then makes matters worse. Just wondered if anyone else was experiencing a need for alcohol around this time. Thanks and hope you're all having a lovely day.
If 1 is using alcohol as a sleep aid then 1 may be addicted. It's certainly not the way to medicate! I haven't touched alcohol other than a sip if a bottle if opened to try it since the 1990s. Alcohol is also a depressive.Anyone who wants alcohol in this way should talk to a Professional.
