Feeling tired and headachey on evenings I don't have wine

[MarshmallowPink]

Does anybody else get this? Why?! If I have a glass of wine when I'm cooking I seem to be able to stay up later, no headachey feeling. If I don't have a glass of wine I am so exhausted by 8ish and I often have a heavy slightly achey head. I sleep deeply and i get that headache feeling like you've slept too much in the day.

Why would this be?!

Some withdrawal? Are you drinking enough water? I would have a week off the wine drink plenty water and see what happens.

A whole week without wine!
WTF!
Jeez! Talk about going straight for the nuclear option!

I drink loads of water. Especially on days I don't have wine.

Haha, a week does sound depressing! But I've given up for months before and honestly felt shitter!

I think it's the sugar rather than the alcohol giving a bit of extra energy

The fact that the thought of a whole week without wine is such an issue, suggests that you have an issue!

Agree with pp unless you are drinking loads of wine then it's probably just the sugar.

For me I'm not sure about wine vs no wine, but I find a cup of tea just before or just after dinner makes me far less sluggish for the rest of the evening.

It'll be the sugar in the wine. However it could be masking some bodily needs you're not meeting. I would actually have a couple of weeks off to figure out what it is that's being neglected.

I hadn't thought about sugar, I think you're right!
