Post 1,496: Ugly Beer

I am always amazed at how hard what I consume can affect me. Be it how healthy I am eating causing me to feel wonderful or terrible. Or the amount of Redbull I am consuming affecting my sleep.

The one that always sneaks up on me is drinking alcohol. I do it very rarely. Yet, I just did it recently. What is surprising, even though it seems to happen most times I partake, is how overwhelmingly negative I feel for the 24-48 hours after I have drank. I really pay attention to my mental state, and the deluge of negativity is ridiculous.

I am just pointing this out as a factor you can test. What happens if you stay away from drinking alcohol for a few days? How does it affect your mental state to get it out of your system? What would it do to you if you took a week off, or a month off, or a year?

I am not an anti-drinking advocate. I just drank a few nights ago. My experience afterwards was so painful though, I thought the anecdote was worth sharing.
