I wish there wasn’t some weird issue for me that means even a little alcohol makes me feel flushed, sick and really anxious. (And my stomach wasn’t messed up anyway.)
I just want to relax and have a beer :(
Maybe it would chill me out enough to just enjoy hobbies for what they are and not make them a further source of stress.
Have you tried white spirits? A half shot gin and tonic in a tall glass with lots of ice usually does the trick for me. I get the same anxiety from drinking as well and that usually does the trick.
It seems to be all of it unfortunately. Kind of like a weird allergy
zero alcohol beer does the trick for me if you don’t mind that there is no alcohol there and just want the taste.
