So now gin makes me anxious

I love a G&T. Never buy it - it's been a tight year and I just don't buy treaty things for myself any more. But late October was my birthday and my lovely husband bought me a large bottle of Gordons, which I love.

Twice over the festive season I've had a couple of gins and tonic in the evening, and both times I've slept horribly, sweats and anxiety dreams all night, and woken up with that anxious feeling of dread.

I already can't eat bread, wheat, red wine, more than one glass of wine, too much sugar... I am the poster-child for peri-menopause and all that entails. And I just feel so bloody BETRAYED by gin.

It is shit, but on the other hand, your liver function deteriorated during the perimenopause so you are more susceptible to getting drink related liver issues, so maybe the slight silver lining is that you won't end up with liver damage. It is annoying though. I am the same.

I didn't know this. Really interesting.
