I've never really drank consistently in my life except for the time I spent in Italy, while I was there I really enjoyed the glass or two of wine for lunch and dinner, but I never continued the habit back home. In college I would drink a couple times a term (usually at wine and cheese and the Amarna party) and it was no problem. I don't think I've gotten really drunk since my bacherlorette party, but I drank during our trip to NY in June and it wasn't a problem.
Two weekends ago we went to a party and I had four drinks, three hard ciders and a very weak rum-and-coke. I was pleasantly drunk and went to bed around 1am (early). I woke up at 6:30am (earlier then I usually get up) feeling horribly nauseous. I graded papers until 8:30am and then tried to go back to bed, but the minute I laid down I felt worse. So I stayed up all Sunday looking and feeling horrible. It was beyond just dehyration, plenty of water and some pain reliever got rid of the headache, but my stomach was severely disturbed. ???
Then last Wednesday our manager at Agora treated us to dinner, I had one vodka tonic and felt horribly sick Thursday (that might also have been the food?). Even this weekend I had a cider Sat. night and Sunday felt nauseous (although I was also trying to read in the car, so that might have contributed, I was fine when we weren't driving). Am I that old already, come on. What is up with my body? Maybe it can't deal with alcohol in times of stress? I have been having a hard time sleeping recently (my heart races and I can't calm down, thanks Denis for the backrubs) and I know I've been experiencing academic stress physically, but it irritates me when I can't even have a single drink. That being said, I had a good time at all of the places where I had the aforementioned drinks.
