Nerves or alcohol?

unreg21

ok guys here goes...after being out on a sat night for example and say id have 7 or 8 pints id be drunk but fine like not staggering or anything...anyway the drink seems to affect my nervous system or something because the following day weird **** happens like paranoia kicking in and stuff,simple things like eating my dinner i get slight shakes n stuff,head slightly shaking too but i know its because im thinking about it and that...iv met a really nice girl recently and want to bring her out to dinner we have been hitting it off but i know when i do this will prob kick in and may freak her out!
I know myself(or at least i think i do)thats its not something really serious...maybe i just need to relax more or maybe its not the drink but just paranoia...i dont drink really apart from a sat night,is there anything i could get in chemist thats relaxes you and wont cause my mind to wonder onto these stupid thoughts? Hope this makes sense,Any opinions appreciated..Thanks guys

Eh... drink less?

Seriously, why not just pace yourself?

Personally, I find when I drink bottles rather than pints, I feel totally different the next day.

Pints make me feel depressed and anxious... bottles I'm not so bad.

So maybe give bottled beer a try.

Its just the heeby jeebys from the booze, drink a bit less and you will be fine.

Maybe you think your fine? Ya know like, when you go out and your so drunk you think your sober.

I get the shakes most sundays too, but i do be in a ball with a hangover.

But yeah, drink less if you feel like its affecting you.
Or try a different drink. Ie, cider blows my head off... budweiser makes me sleepy. Vodka, im not really feeling anything til the next day... Gotta find what works for you.

I agree.

OP: Try going out and having four pints max and seeing what happens the next day. If the same thing is happening, then you might have a problem but I'd say it's just the sheer amount you've had that's messing you up the next day. Hangovers can come in different forms afterall.

Also, you're hardly going to be drinking as much on a date with a girl. Or at least I hope you wouldn't. If you're having dinner, have a few glasses of wine and don't see it as an opportunity to get píssed.

Sounds like the heebs to me too.
I'd say it's the drink OP,cut back a bit and you'll be grand.I find if I drink good quality beers the hangovers are much less distressing,try for the ones with the least chemicals,also if I drink on an empty stomach I'm a nervous wreck the next day.
I barely drink at all anymore,apart from a monthly binge.
Anyway like Rb said,you're hardly going to be getting twisted on a date with this girl are you?long term you're just going to have to discipline yourself I suppose.That's what I keep telling myself anyway:D

8 pints and your wondering whats up? Especially if you are drinking every weekend, calm it down, no girl will fancy a shaky nervous dude. Like posted earlier 4 pints and you will be cool.

Have a drink the next day and you should be ok

Drink pints of shandy half beer/half lemonade. Some people are just more sensitive to alcohol and drinking heavily just once a week means you don't get used to it wheras if you drank 4 pints 3 times a week you might not have such a problem.
