Folks.
Does the bodies ability to process alcohol reduce with age? (or illness
).
Or is it just that the
feeling of being hungover persists for longer now that I'm older? (50).
Two examples.
1. After a hearty slurp, say two bottles of decent plonk, I have a hangover on the next day (as you would expect). But, the day after 'hangover day', I still feel a bit ****ty.
Surely the alc. must be gone from my system (36 hours elapsed from start of drinking), so is it just that ****ty feeling or could I still be over the flying limit?
Two bottles of wine could be 16 units- So after 16 hours, I should be ok- but certainly I don't think I am. But after 36 hours? .. surely!
2. Drank two bottles of ordinary strength beer between 2000 and 2200. Nect day, 0900 report, still aware of having had alc. the night before and not feeling 100%. Feeling persists til about 1600.
Two beers is not enough to be illegal to drive. So after 13 hours I ought to be ok?
Is this: normal? or normal only with age, or abnormal?
When younger, I never had 'two day' hangovers. Or felt rough after two beers the night before.
What's going on. Am I ill?
At this rate I'll need to pack up having a gargle even when off the next day.
