    Default Why can't I drink anymore?

    Recently, including tonight, I haven't really been able to stomach alcohol. I can't take straight shots anymore without feeling like I'm going to puke and mix drinks, despite any ratio I try, taste like crap. I use to be able to pound down shots and mix drinks no problem, now I can't stomach them. What the hell is happening to me? This is quite upsetting. Does anyone have a good explanation?

    Apparently, you're turning into some type of pansy.

    Have you watched The Notebook more than once, ever, or recently felt the need to talk to people about your feelings?

    Seriously, I have no clue - see a doctor if you're feeling bad when not drinking? I doubt you liver is failing you this young.

    I don't feel bad when I'm not drinking, just when I drink. I dont need alcohol, I just want to be able to enjoy it.

    PS. I've never seen the notebook EVER.

    You're 19. You don't have the proper stomach for booze yet. Give it time.

    As for The Notebook, oh my... That movie is an emotional nuclear weapon. I went to bed only to be awaked by an uncontrollably sobbing Mrs. Beirut two hours later. Saddest movie she ever saw.

    I told my buddy to rent it for his woman the next time she was being insufferable - which would be soon in her case. She'd be begging for forgiveness for things she hasn't even done yet.

    I had this too at one point, just don't drink for a while, your stomach should heal itself, it's surprisingly resilient.

    The liver has to detoxify the alcohol. If you overwork it you will feel the difference.

    Give serious alcohol consumtion a break for a few months. Give your liver time to recover.

    You're probably tired. I find alcohol ruins me when I'm tired. Have an early night the day before, eat some proper food, and you'll be leaving others in ditches before the night is done.

    I find having a break helps too. Heavy drinking constantly meant I was getting pretty ill when I drank anything by the end of last summer. What a fun time that was. *sigh*

    Well, I thank you for the gift, very thoughtful. But I'd say it's Mrs. Beirut who needs forgiveness more often than me.

    Can you send her a copy of any movie with Jessica Alba?

    Watch Withnail and I and go get bladdered!!! Served me very well over the last two years, very well indeed, though my liver aint liking it, it does feel like it is gurgling sometimes!

    But yeh I know exactly what you mean, I go through stages of not being able to drink specific types of alcahol - or at least really not wanting to - at any certain point, normally after I had been drinking it a lot the previous few nights. At the moment it is Vodka for me - oh hangovers of nightmares, but nights out of joy! - we all got a bit carried away at my mates 20th Bday...

    Anyway, I am sure you know what the answer is - just keep on battling through it!
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    My body decided to fix me another way; now I get terrible hangovers from any amount even when I drink a bunch of water. So, I haven't gotten really drunk since St. Patrick's day.

    (Thankfully, there are many much better drugs out there.)

    you have probably mildly irratated the lining of your stomach and digestive system with too much alcohol. it happens to me nearlly every time i go on holiday.

    stay off the alchohol for a few days, then start with beer and test out spirits a few days later.

    avoid mixers altogether, they are for girls.

    Because it's such a sin for something to taste good... If you're a real man, you'll be able to stomach eating or drinking San Pedro or Peruvian Torch... that is a challenge.
