[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In late stage peri at 52 and on HRT and a GLP, and I’ll admit that I still love alcohol, feeling more relaxed, socializing with drinks, etc (if this offends you, move on)… but the after effects are really rough for me. I don’t have headaches as much as I’m just completely exhausted the next day, and it’s a lost day. In fact, I’m often still tired on day 2. This happens if I drink more than a glass of wine, even if I eat, drink water, get plenty of sleep, etc.

I look around me and others my age seem to be able to handle drinking. What am I doing wrong? [/quote][/b]

Op- also, no one has answered my question... :) do people who drink habitually have an easier time handling their alcohol? Not that I'm saying I'm going to do that, but it is curious to me how some of my friends seem better the next day. [/quote]

I doubt they have an easier time handling their alcohol, but they're probably addicted enough to it they feel compelled to keep going. I don't think daily drinking is going to help much if you're already suffering with the amount you're drinking now. I had a ton of fun in my 20s and 30s and was a regular drinker. Now in my 50s I find the price I pay isn't worth it...I will be achy and have my sleep disrupted for days. It truly sucks. I've just faced the fact that it's not so much fun anymore and will have 1-2 drinks maybe one day a week. Any more than that and it just disrupts everything. Welcome to aging![/quote]
