Does alcohol do this to you?

[NotFeelingRight]

after I get pissed the next day i feel so anxious! It's awful and I start imagining that I've said stupid things or offended people. It's so bad I'm considering stopping drinking.

That's called "the fear" or "beer fear" and lots of people get it when they've had too much

It's THE FEAR.

Beer fear.

You perhaps shouldn't be drinking so much that you're paranoid about what you've said and done.

It’s normal- alcohol is a depressant. But it’s not nice - I actually feel a lot better mentally if I don’t drink.

spoon I don't drink that much actually but I start to fabricate what I've done if I've forgotten like 2 minutes of the night !

Yes I feel so anxious about myself. Even just a bottle of wine sends me crackers, it’s got much worse the older I get.

I just can’t drink anymore really, not worth it for me!

im due to go on a work Xmas night out next week and I might drive !

Yes the fear is hideous. It actually makes me vomit the next day rather than the hangover I think!

Hangxiety! Totally a thing.

Yep, the beer fear. It’s awful.

Is fairly normal OP, I get it too, although it's got a lot worse since I've got older. Sadly the only cure is to have a little less or if you are blotto, at least remember to text yourself "don't worry, you weren't a twat right before you go to bed

Yeh I call it hangxiety, it can be really bad sometimes and is one reason I drink much less now than I used to.

Never felt that but heard of it, sounds horrendous I wouldn’t drink if I did.
Just drink less and see if that helps

I definitely get hangxiety

Sorry OP it seems to be an age thing. Late 30's it gets baaaad. I hardly drink now can't handle the hangxiety/ beer fear. 😭

You don’t drink much yet you drink so much you can’t remember what happened? You do drink too much then.

‘Beer fear’
I get it something chronic, even if I only have one or two glasses of wine, and so am not even slightly pissed, it’s utterly bizarre and horrid every time. I don’t drink very often anymore purely for that reason.

In AA we call it the Four Horsemen: terror, bewilderment, frustration, despair.

Don't let it get that far!

I’ve always known it as alcoholic remorse.

honestly my mind runs away with me. Ill be thinking I remember talking to Dave but what did I say lol. It's awful!

Yes big time. And I've genuinely done things that have really put me off drinking.

oh god yes. Hungover Me really, really hates Drunk Me.
admittedly Drunk Me is a bit of a tit, but not half as bad as Hungover Me thinks.

Yep, it’s awful. Mine isn’t so much worrying about what I’ve said/done while drunk but more just general anxiety and paranoia. Always have a rubbish nights sleep too. I hate it, really one of the worst feelings and a big factor in my cutting down to almost tee total on what used to my problem drinking.

I'm defo driving next time lol
