White wine - makes me crazy

millyj

Im looking for advice on this. Last night I had a bottle of wine over say 3 hours. I had not eaten and subsequently it hit me very quickly. My bf of 3 months bore the brunt of this when I turned on him for absolutely no reason. Maybe things just seem worse today as I have a raging hangover . All is cool with my bf as he just says to forget about it and move on that its in the past but i really feel that I have hurt him. Any advice on how to make this up to him and also, have any of you guys experienced turning psychotic from drinking wine?

Stop drinking white wine tbh.

LadyE

Were you particularly nasty to him? Just apologise again and as he says, move on. Not much else you can do really if he wants to forget it.

Would defo stay off the wine tho, some drinks dont suit some people, bulmers/cider doesnt suit me, maybe wne doesnt suit you. And drink on a full stomach the next time, even if you drink a glass of milk beforehand, to line your stomach!

Drink more sensibly and deal with your issues with your bf and your realtionship when you are sober and can communicate hopefully as a mature adult.

Oryx

Stop drinking anything alcoholic on an empty stomach. And do as your bf said and move on. Dont forget it though... so you wont allow it to happen again. Anyone can mess up like this once, to do it twice would be bad.

I turn a bit psycho with different drinks , I think a lot of people do. Could be getting a bit older too , I noticed drink was giving me way worse hangovers as I got older , although it took me a while to realize that was the cause.

There's a simple solution to this - stop drinking the wine. Ugh I hate wine, I'm not gonna go on a rant about it here but I think it's one of the worst drinks that there is.

Try not to think about it! Your prob in the horrors.. it really isnt that bad and your bf is obviously pretty nice to put you at ease!
My ex once tipped the last contents of a bottle of wine on my head bcuz I was talking so much rubbish!

Redpunto

probably has happened to most people - its not like you set out to get hammered. Take him out for a meal, and just try and forget about it.

Ehm. The easiest solution to this is maybe not to drink white wine?

rediguana

Ease off on the booze and start doing yoga or something. I don't think any particular drink can be responsible for causing a person to attack somebody else; it's a question of quantity and that person's prior mental-emotional state.

My wife is exactly the same. Nutso on white wine. Self-banned from drinking it while I'm in the country or phoning me when I'm not. :pac:

I have heard of a number of people who go a little "crazy" on white wine! I stopped drinking it on nights out. A glass with dinner is fine, but otherwise it just doesn't suit me at all and I'm just not myself. I haven't drunk more than a glass in over a year now.

I know it seems like a nice "social" drink and you can share a bottle etc etc but anything that makes you act/feel like that is not social! Just remember this the next time you are tempted to have a bottle of white wine.

Hate to tell you guys that that "different drink" crap dosent wash. Your body dosent know the difference between the different alcohol drinks it just knows that your drinking alcohol, be it white wine, vodka or whatever!

What you are doing is telling yourself before you even had a sup "uh oh, here comes the white wine, im going to go on a mad one" so therefore you will go on a mad one! I see it with my own friends who think that they go mad on vodka and once at a party we were at they were drinking vodka (although they didnt know it, thought it was something else) and guess what...no crazy rage from them!!

I would just put what happened behind you and forget about it, and the next time yo have white wine dont expect bad things to happen because If you do THEY will happen. Also maybe dig a little deeper, maybe something happened between you and your boyfriend (might of been the slightest little thing but really got in on your wick) and thats why you went a little crazy.Or some other issue that needs to be addressed!

My bro goes same way with whiskey but I do have some friends who are like that with wine too.
They never learnt to stay away from the wine - so now I rarely join them out.
My bro on the other hand learnt early.

Fine another tipple or drink in more moderation - but you never know - my bro loses it after even 1 whiskey - obv worse if he has mixed it...

Disease Ridden

Yeah you should really lay off the white wine. If I was you I'd drink SWEET BERRA WINE!!.... for your health...

cafecolour

You make it up to him by never doing it again. And by apologizing, but you've already done that. I think most people have at least one or two friends that have lost their **** on drink/drugs and gotten over it - it's just if it persists that it becomes a major problem.

And yes, it's happened to me once. I think it was just that the quantity of alcohol totally exceeded my norms at the time - I had been off it for a few months, and was matching drink for drink with heavy drinking mates. I turned into a raving lunatic. Very scary. I've never tried to keep pace with anyone but myself since.

Bottle_of_Smoke

White wines quite easy to drink and it can be strong. You hadn't eaten - that's the problem, not the wine alone

You drank more than you could handle. Simple as. White wine is not to blame. Whether it's white whine or whiskey and a mixer, the units of alcohol consumed and the dilution factor are what matters.

Fairly sure yer body can 'tell' when it has varying levels of alcohol floating around. Vodka is stronger than cider (for instance) and as such, will hit harder and faster, causing the drinker to maybe go a little wilder. This is also the case as drinks that are drunk with mixers (spritsers, shorts etc) go down easier than heavy drinks (beers, ciders etc), allowing the naive drinker to believe that they "haven't drunk that much" and therefore, are less conscious of the high level of toxicity in their body, possibly prompting them to drink more.

Saying "Yer body can't distinguish one alcohol from another" is a true, but the volume is the important factor.


Tequila doesn't agree with me cos I can drink it like water. Beer agrees with me moreso because it takes me ages to drink it.

Agreed. Everybody has different responses to different drinks. When I began drinking in my late teens, vodka set me off on two occasions (angry, emotional, depressed) and JD & Aftershock turned me into a small-time Casanova :cool:

You need to find a drink that doesn't set you off, everyone's different and everyone responds differently.

PS. Drinking on an empty stomach is never a good idea!

estar

is a large amount of alcohol in a 3 hour period. thats about 9 -11 units at least. you are only recommended to drink 14 a week
thats about 5 pints, I think for that bottle of wine. white wine made you mental because you arent used to drinking so much and shouldnt.

if you were a man your behaviour would have been treated far less sympathetically, girls get away with far more when drunk and going off on one.

you have learned your limit, respect it. dont drink any alcohol to excess if you cannot reasonably say that you will behave safely. other wise you are just a liability.

you can learn this the easy way or the hard way its your choice.

aare

Many years ago...in a REALLY bad relationship...

We used kill a liter bottle of wine between us every night (not something I had ever done before)...

One night I opened a second bottle...

Well...I lost it...and I threw stuff...next morning was hell to face...

For one thing, Seimens cookers were NOT the designated target...and the, irreplaceable, glass door was in tiny, weeny pieces in the bin...

But somehow, civilisation, as we know it, survived...

Trust me, within 72 hours you will feel almost ready to forgive yourself...

Just try not to do it again?

I experience the result of this behaviour quite often and I can only conclude that the wine is simply a catalyst added to being a woman.

YES...
right, so here goes, i know people might say that all alcohol will affect you the same ( i havent actually read the thread... poor show i know but im lazy).
it doesnt

iv drank nearly every major drink type possible, and there are two drinks that i do not drink ever.

they are white wine and absinthe.

when i drink them i tend to lose touch with reality, i cannot explain why or anything else. i initially thought it was in my head or whatever but every time i drink this stuff i go insane.

cure: dont drink it any more!
nothing else will work! least it wont for me!

anyway stay off whats making you bad.
general bit of advice. :pac:

Agreed about the volume point. But what im saying is that there is no such thing as a drink that makes you go wild.

Chocoholic84

One of my friends goes CRAZY on any sort of alcohol, and her poor b/f (and anyone around her) seriously bears the brunt of it.

The worst case was when she was drinking wine at an all day event, and she got completely out of control - accused the b/f of eyeing up other women, gave him silent treatment etc. She then turned on me for no reason whatsoever, and started spouting all kinds of ****, some of it really hurtful...

The next day, she was so apologetic and knew she had been way out of line, even though she couldn't remember most of what she'd done.
I told her she seriously needed to stop drinking full-stop and she agreed.

She hasn't, AFAIK. Tbh, I reckon the b/f is an even bigger fool for putting up with it, as it's not a one-off, happens eveery time she has alcoho, which is at least once a week. Their relationship is pretty toxic now because of it, but yet they stay together..

Moral of this story? OP, nip this in the bud NOW - if it's just white wine that give it up!! Alcohol is not worth jeopardising your relationship for.

davmol

Alcohol affect everyone depending on teh amount youve had to eat ,your weight etc etc.

I dont thinkthe OP was looking for a lecture but more advise on how to make it up to him ,heres my advice-steak and blowjob, he'll get over this minor indiscretion fairly quick and may even buy you wine in future

Sorry to give the same obvious answer, but now you know to leave the white wine alone.

From a similar experience I avoid red wine because it makes me go emotionally loopy...
