I've recently noticed that drinking alcohol excessively (through the weekend) makes me severely depressed throughout the whole next week. I'm actually considering never drinking again. Anyone else having a similar experience?

I rarely drink. When I do it's expensive and meant to be sipped.

Sugar is interesting.

I found that eating a large amount of sugar (for example, a bowl of ice cream) gives me pleasure at first, but then later I start feeling depressed, and my brain starts fogging up. This usually happens if I buy a tub of ice cream and go through it after a few days. Anything potentiality addictive can cause you to feel this way.

I would stop drinking cold turkey and see how that helps you. Eventually you will detox off of it and feel better.

It will always do that from time to time, because it is bad for you and mind altering.

Sugar is essentially poison. Get rid of it in all of its forms. Go paleo, start fasting, get rid of carbs, you don’t need a single one ever.

I'm exactly the same. It got worse with age to the point where drinking just wasn't worth it anymore.

I've been sober now 12 years. Alcohol will tear you up in the long term. What you are feeling OP is the mental effects of alcohol abuse. Alcohol will slowly twist your view of the world. I can't speak for you, but alcohol is a depressant and you are feeling the after effects.

Yes, around two years ago I was well within a gym routine and after two weekends of drinking I lost all motivation.

Alcohol is poison and its glorification in media and living culture is truly troubling.

Same here but I smoke weed

Drink is a depressant. I only drink maybe once a year because, frankly, it fucks with my head. Started smoking weed, only to find out weed does the same fucking thing if you smoke too much. Fuck me m'irite?

GraceMazen · 2018-10-26T10:37:21+00:00

I used to drink all the time, but I can't anymore. For some reason I get really hungover now and it lasts like 2 days. It didn't used to be this way, I think it's just getting older.

Stop drinking that much in General. You can still Drink alcohol but only in small amounts.

When I have binged, I find myself wiped out for at least the next day depending on what I’ve been eating, how hydrated and the shape I’m in. Better to have one beer or drink and enjoy it or none at all.

My goal, when I drink, is to enjoy some high priced whiskey with a cigar. I rarely drink, but if I do, I make sure I have a quality sprit in my rocks glass straight.

CommanderHeMan · 2018-10-26T00:08:23+00:00

Yes, alcohol does that.

Feel great drinking, terrible the rest of the time.

It’s awful for your body fat % and your endocrine system.

One beer is about 200 calories. Some years ago I was doing 12 beers every other day. That’s a lot of additional calories, not to mention a lot of alcohol.

At my heaviest I was 214lbs, 25% bodyfat. I’m 6ft2 so it’s not an extreme weight, but ‘skinnyfat’ is what they call it in current year.

I’m down to around 17% bodyfat now. I lost 14lbs just stopping drinking.

Both alcohol and sugar can act like depressants. Most alcohol is essentially liquid sugar with an alcohol chaser. Now I'm totally abstaining, as cutting alcohol and sugar totally changed my health and stamina. Plus low carb.

If I do occasionally drink in future I'll make sure it doesn't have toxic mixers which are loaded with sugar. A single night of "partying" with mixed drinks has left me feeling like shit for a day or two. Woo fucking Hoo. No thanks.
