+1 how often do you drink these days? We went on a long hike yesterday and after it we went to a brewery and even just one beer went straight to my head. Because I’m not 25 anymore, hadn’t eaten or drank enough throughout the hike I’m sure even though we DID eat and drink throughout but you’re still just expending a lot. You had 4 in one afternoon (this was before dinner so the time frame you gave is longer than the 4 I think, 8 is after the incident when you actually left it sounds like. sunhat or not you were in the sun all day drinking 4 drinks and you probably don’t do that often anymore.

Dinner wasn’t until almost 9:30pm. I said between noon—8 because 8 was when we last got off the boat and I had already finished my last drink, though I can’t recall when.

What had you eaten between noon and 8 then? 9:30 is an extremely late dinner for people out on a boat and in the sun all day. Maybe you didn’t eat most of the day and that was part of it?

If I was drunk, how was I suddenly completely fine afterwards, with no hangover? I’ve been drunk many many times, unfortunately, and it doesn’t get easier the older you get. I know what it’s like, and you don’t puke and feel better, and you sure don’t wake up feeling refreshed.

Vomiting likely helped with the hangover. You were suffering from the combined effects of sun, alcohol and boating. Dehydration can make one nauseous, so with nothing but alcohol in your stomach, you puked. But it wasn’t actually that much alcohol and then you puked up a bunch of it, so you were fine by morning.

I drank about 40oz over the entire day.

Adding: according to Google: For an average adult woman, consuming four or more standard drinks within about two hours is generally considered binge drinking, which can lead to being legally intoxicated.

While your timeframe may have been a little longer - say it was 4-5 hours. “Adult woman” is a very large pool so again a 25 year old will respond differently than a 40 year old and then also on a hot day outside all day vs a different time frame. Plus is it possible you’d rank five but you thought you drank 4?

The heat magnifies the effects of alcohol and 4 mixed drinks over that span of time is a lot for a woman.

Boating increases the feeling of being woozy.

You were functionally drunk, because you were dehydrated. Boating and swimming in the sun are VERY dehydrating. You should have drunk a lot more water and not had that much alcohol.

Effects of a day long sun & alcohol outing.

Heat exhaustion together with be dehydrated.

You were drunk

Yesterday we spent the day on a friend’s new boat. We went in intervals where we boated, then docked and swam at the shore, boated, swam…

Throughout the day noon-8pm I had four Long Drink beverages. Spread over that amount of time, I don’t think that’s a lot of alcohol, and at no point did I feel drunk at all, but right before we sat down for dinner, I started feeling like I suddenly needed to sleep or close my eyes, and I excused myself to sit in our car and do just that. Then, I felt the urge to vomit, which I did. And then I felt completely fine, albeit tired and dehydrated. We drove home (DH driving) and I felt fine. When we got home, I showered, and then sat and watched an episode of a show while I waited for my hair to dry a bit. I don’t think there is any way I was drunk. So what was it?

Things of note:

I was drinking water throughout the day, but not much.

We didn’t eat much. I had a light breakfast, but then only a handful of snack-y things like pretzels, watermelon, and a couple pinwheel sandwich rolls. I couldn’t eat dinner, so for the entire day, that’s all I ate.

We were in the sun all day but I had on a giant sun hat and it wasn’t a particularly sunny day where we were.

I have never been seasick in my life, so I don’t think it’s that at all.

I’m completely fine today. No hint of a hangover.

What could it be?
