Hey all, wondering if anyone else experiences a reduced tolerance to booze?
Up to a year ago I could have 2 glasses of wine no problem, but if i had 3 or more I would wake up middle of the night with upset stomach and racing heart for an hour or so but it would pass.(unless it was like 4 glasses or more and then assorted hangover symptoms including nausea, shakes etc).
But starting a couple months ago, i have had a few nights before bed when my heart started racing and would race for easily 6+ hours and keep me awake, as well as mild stomach upset. I thought it was general hormonal menopause BS but last night I had 2 glasses of wine and had the racing heart/upset stomach/unable to sleep thing - its been 24 hours now and I still feel off and anxious now too! And when i think back, the last two times i had these symptoms I also had booze - just less than what would trigger it before. What is weird if that one time I only had 1 beer and a small glass of wine ( 4oz maybe max)..
So wtf? Has my booze tolerance dropped and why? Anyone else experienced this? I enjoy a little booze but does this mean I can’t drink any more?
