A couple of weeks ago, I went 'out out' for the first time in almost 2 years!!! I do drink at home, just a couple of glasses of wine here and there.....but I stupidly had roughly the equivalent of a whole bottle over about 3 hours and was feeling pretty drunk by the time I got home. Yes, I know, lightweight!! I was very sick about an hour after getting in and then rolled into bed assuming I'd feel a bit rough in the morning but would just chalk it up to experience. The next day I felt so bad I couldn't go to work. I had diarrhoea and my whole body ached. It took another couple of days before I could function properly and now, 14 days later, I still feel sick a lot, can't eat properly and am still dashing to the loo after meals. I certainly can't even bear the thought of touching alcohol. This seems quite an over-reaction to me - has anybody else experienced anything like this?? Worried I have done some permanent damage.....but I didn't drink that much really!!!!

Norovirus? Sounds like you picked it up.

Alcohol really irritates my bowels now I've got older, and I will have diarrhoea for a while after a heavy session. For this reason, I am cutting it out.

Alcohol can also make acid reflux worse, and that will make you feel nauseous and stop you from eating
