Menopause anxiety and alcohol

[yellowrosesontable]

I’ve massively reduced consumption following a period of feeling awful after a night/day out drinking and it has made a huge difference to my well being and focus. Is this the way forward for a happier life?

I had to cut out drinking altogether recently (I’m 53) because even just a couple of glasses of wine left me feeling horrible the next day. Upset stomach, tired, racing heart, huge anxiety. I’m on HRT and am trying to stay as fit as possible in snipers alley, so booze had to go. Feel much better without it. Negatives definitely outweigh positives.

Funny this should pop up as I have come to the same realisation sadly! I love wine but the broken nights, anxiety, irritability even after just one glass have meant I've given it up almost totally.

Yep. I only drink a few times a year now and drink far less when I do drink.

Saved me loads of money and my skin looks fantastic!
