Beer fear 2 days on...

[sydneyslife]

So I went out on Saturday for my friends birthday, we went out early so we were all very drunk by the evening.

I keep getting flashbacks of speaking to people that I know and am constantly worrying about what I was saying, I talk so much shit when I'm drunk

To make matters worse, when we got to the last pub (I had sobered up a bit by this point) I was with one of my girlfriends and a boy who we were friends with at school, it was just the 3 of us for most of the night and while my friend went to the toilet it was just me and the male friend for about 5 minutes and someone came on to us and asked if we were together! I was mortified as I have a boyfriend of 7 years who is also friends with this boy. We obviously weren't doing anything to make people think we were together I'd never be unfaithful to my boyfriend but I'm just really worrying about the comment that the person made!

I know I'm being dramatic, I'm 21 and don't drink that much as I always get the beer fear the next day that I've done something wrong! I don't know what advice I'm looking for I guess I just want to share this horrible anxiety I'm feeling

I’m the same today! Went to my friends Hen do on Saturday and I have the horrible ‘doom’ feeling- like something bad has happened! Cringing at conversation flash backs!!!!
Am going to have a nice dinner and bath tonight and hopefully tomorrow we’ll both feel better!
Pesky alcohol 🍷

get yourself to bed as early as you can and be happy in the knowledge that tomorrow everything will look perfectly fine again. What you are worrying about sounds like absolutely nothing!

I agree - an early night and lots of sleep and it will all look better in the morning. Eat plenty of fruit too to get your blood sugar back up and drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate. We've all been there xx

this article explains why it happens, it's quite common to experience anxiety after drinking.

Make a date to ‘worry’ about it on Saturday. Until then just put it out of your mind. I guarantee that come Saturday you will be feeling fine and won’t give it another thought.

It’s a right bastard isn’t it!? I get the beer fear something terrible. Always confess that I think I’ve cheated to my DH and he always light-heatedly says ‘it’ll pass SherbetSaucer, it always does’! 😂 And he’s right!!

You’ll be OK in a few days!

I binge drank way, way too often at 21 and wish I’d moderated or stopped.

I was lucky I think, I binge drank regularly in my youth and was often appallingly drunk, but I never got memory gaps at all.

Water, bed, sleep and it'll be a better day tomorrow.

You'll be fine, really, it does wear off. It gets worse as you get older though(sorry)

@Stampy84 thanks for your reply. I'm glad it's not just me, it's a horrible feeling! Hope your feeling better in the morning

Thanks everyone for the replies! I know that half the people I spoke to would have probably been drunk themselves anyway but I just always get the fear the next day, it's awful! Hopefully I'll wake up feeling much better tomorrow
