Long Term "drunkiness"... Mental Problem? Posted: 08-01-07 09:48am
i really don't know where to post this,
hopefully this is the right forum....
this is going to sound strange, but i
seriously need some answers here. i am 20
years old and know im not supposed to
drink alcohol but every time i DO, the
effects last way too long. the first time
i got drunk, i had probably around 10
drinks.... i FELT DRUNK for the next TEN
DAYS! i couldn't drive, go to school, or
go to work. Now every time i drink, the
same thing happens. Example, if i have
ONE beer, i will feel the "buzz" for about
2 hours. The other night (saturday,
7/28/07) and i am still feeling
disoriented and not sober to this day
(8/1/07). It is very rarely that i do
drink because i know this kinda stuff
happens to me. Is there ANY explanation
as to why my body does this, or it just a
mental condition that i have? If it is a
mental problem, why does the feeling all
of a sudden go away after x amount of days
(average is 10 days)??? PLEASE let me
know, i don't want to go through this
anymore. thank you
-Frank

Hey frank, i dont know if it is mental or
not but i do suggest you see your doctor
as its not normal. You could be allergic
to alcohol or something else in drinks,
but definatley see your doctor, he will
probably be able to give you somee
explanation.
Good luck!

i already spoke to my doctor about this.
all he told me was "you're having a bad
reaction to alcohol." As you can see, he
didn't help me all that much. If i
remember correctly, he took urine and
blood from me and did some tests to see if
my liver was functioning properly.
Everything came back fine, and like 2 days
after i saw him, i felt better. This is
why i say that about 10 days is the
average this thing lasts. Does anyone
else have any other suggestions!? PLEASE
HELP ME GUYS!! I don't like this very
much...

It appears to me you don't want to hear
that it is your body reacting to your
drinking as though it were poisen
.........well dear you can either leave
the drink alone and choose another bad
habit or put up with this one that you
know...but why are you bent on doing this
repeatedly when you do not like the
results? either stop it or put up with it
.....Me? I would choose tro live longer
and drink more water ... hey best wishes
on your decision its your life .

Do you need to drink? I don't.. I don't
drink because I get a buzz from the first
drink.. I turn all red etc. I am pretty
sure that I am allergic.. I don't know
though! But since I am not sure.. I just
don't drink
