I tried running in the mornings. You know what happened? I ran slowly, felt like shit, and then fell asleep in front of my computer at 2pm after eating all the chocolate out of the vending machine. Exercise in the morning is for psychopaths. (I am slightly joking about the psychopath thing, but mornings and I are not…

I’ve gotten THAT DRUNK after the age of 35 (as have friends of mine), but it’s a pretty rare celebratory occasion, like, once a year or something. It’s certainly not the norm of our drinking behavior.

I’m 33 now, and I think as I’ve gotten older I’ve started to overestimate how much I can drink and feel no effect. I used to be able to drink a whole bottle of wine no problem, but now I do it and forget that I’ll wake up and be all “ooohhh my god my head I’m dying I’m never drinking again!”.

That has been so long ago I forgot it was a thing!

Slightly off topic, but one thing I’m noticing while reading the comments, is that somewhere around the mid 30’s, getting knee-walking drunk loses it’s appeal for a lot of people. I know that’s about when I lost interest in it. Here in the early 40’s, a nice buzz is a thing (I have a two mixed drink MAXIMUM, and maybe…

I must say that I am disappointed in the Jez community. So many of these posts in the comments section are about how people don’t get hungover because they don’t really drink. NERDS!

Possibly sulfates/sulfites/sulfur?

Some people are allergic to alcohol - but I’ve never heard of just certain types of alcohol. Hives are often a sign of an allergy though, so I would avoid beer or whiskey. Beer and whiskey often have grain in them - but not red wine....hmm....

The kind of booze that take an hour (over good convo) to finish one glass.

I was the same way. Never could understand what people were so uuuuugh and blaaaargh about the morning after partying. I was all like “Here, have some breakfast casserole!” while they wept tears of horror.

Does anyone else break out in hives when they drink certain types of alcohol? When I drink beer or whiskey my chest gets so red and splotchy, and I feel drunk WAY faster than if I were to be drinking vodka or rum. The worse is when I drink red wine, I look like I spent the afternoon in a poison ivy patch. Could I be…

But you don’t want to … wake up next to awkward finger-banging guy.

Sigh, I really miss getting day drunk in the summer. Since I’ve had kids I only enjoy drinking when they’re asleep. Heed my warning childless Jezzies and have fun getting that daytime buzz on at the beach, lake, concert etc.
