I always drank alcohol and until last year I drank 200-300 ml of brandy every night. I didn't get drunk from that amount and I didn't have a headache. Suddenly, however, I could not stand such an amount, because the next day I wanted to die. The hangover was cruel. And all this without changing anything. I reduced the amount to 150. It was fine for a while, but after a few weeks the same thing happened. And so it came to a point where I could no longer drink even 50 ml without having a terrible hangover the next day, even though I didn't feel drunk in the evening. Otherwise, I drink quality alcohol, I changed the brand, the type of alcohol and what not, but I can no longer tolerate very small amounts, and in the future it was not a problem to drink 1 liter of hard alcohol. I can't understand what's going on with my body. I wish I could drink at least 50 ml of brandy a night, because it calms me down and helps me with stress, not that I'm so stressed. I have completely stopped drinking. At the time, I laughed at people who can't stand alcohol, and now I'm worse than them. Is there anyone with such a problem and do you know what could be the reason?

As alcoholism progresses, alcohol tolerance decreases. That is, you are an alcoholic. That's the truth, man.
Don't tell me you want to drink at all costs. It's not good to know. Your amount is quite large and if you ate well, you may still feel sick, and the next day it is normal to have pain and malaise. Pour yourself a small cup if you can't take it anymore.
Up to 1 I can't be an alcoholic because I don't drink at all anymore. To 2 I say this - that I can't stand a small cup anymore. Otherwise it wouldn't be bad to drink 50 ml per night, but I can't do that anymore and I gave up completely, ie I don't taste anymore.
You are definitely an alcoholic. Your liver is overloaded with toxins and has difficulty processing them. It is for this reason that you experience a hangover even from a young age. Stop ABSOLUTELY any alcohol for at least 1-2 months and start drinking Transmethyl for liver cleansing. It is an expensive medicine, but there is no better one. 1 tablet in the morning, noon and evening. If you don't feel like drinking chemicals, buy cold pressed milk thistle oil. 1 teaspoon in the morning, on an empty stomach. You have no other option.
Abe, don't you read? For the third time I write that I no longer drink a gram and this does not bring me any malaise or desire to drink. Only on New Year's I drank about 150 ml and this is my only drink for almost a month. In your opinion, if I were an alcoholic, would I spend so much time without feeling the urge to drink or irritation.
Don't worry. You are an alcoholic. You haven't figured it out yet. You will start drinking again. As such, I state it to you most seriously. Use the time until you drink to purify yourself, as I wrote to you above.
I think otherwise. Many have spoiled the quality of alcohol everywhere. In my case, I drink only wine, very little vodka and a little rum, but only from the wine I drink (cheap and a little), I feel sick in the morning, and without overdoing it. And in the last 1-2 months. Amy, I threw away the empty wine ... I can't stand hard alcohol now or before. You better try different brands and focus on the one you tolerate. Watch the colors too. Everything is rotten in this country. You don't have to be an alcoholic when you drink little, sensibly and mostly low alcohol. People are different. I have a slight coincidence with you, author, so look again at the brands, the color, where you get them, etc. I don't think it's a coincidence. I had taken 2-3 times a wine-only and it hurt my right kidney. I threw it away and stopped buying it, as I mentioned above — and the pain magically disappeared. But anyway, the taste is no longer the same and it smells to me of nothing, or more precisely, of chemistry.
This is clear evidence of the connection between the brain and the body. This is not a problem, but an interaction in your body. It is due to physiological reactions caused by stress or some shock situation. My sensitivity to tickling disappeared. Another reaction is the appearance of allergic symptoms when drinking a sip of wine or beer.
The enzyme that helps break down alcohol is called alcohol dehydrogenase. And yes, you are an alcoholic. This enzyme stops working well and you can't break down alcohol. You can't keep drinking every night. I do not drink. I only drink beer from time to time and I don't drink any bleach to drink.
Um, and I think you're an alcoholic. My ex-husband was like that. he stopped for a while, but then began to try a little at a time until he "aimed" that his beer worked better. As far as I know, he rarely drinks concentrate, but he gets drunk with beer every day. Use the moment to purify yourself, as you were advised above, and if you can, don't try again. Don't be angry with the opinions of the people, so that everyone is unanimous ... there is a reason. And it would be best and safest for you to go to the doctor.
Daily drinking is a great evil and damages the liver the most, much worse than 4-5 strong binges a month. You know that in 1 hour it is able to process a little less than 50 g of solid, a glass of wine or 1 beer. One thing is for sure, your liver has warned you to stop harassing it on a daily basis. Bateto (I don't know if it's according to the rules for writing names) remembered how many years he was proud of his bohemian life and finally his light finger went out in a year without time. If you are not interested in medicines, you can try a good folk recipe for cleansing. Drink fresh apples, carrots, red beets for 3 days. And water, of course. Maybe some vegetables in the salad, but without salt, meat, seafood, mushrooms, etc. in salads. On the evening of the third day, 2 hours before bedtime, 200 g of olive oil and 200 g of squeezed lemon juice in glasses. 1-2 sips of olive oil, 1-2 sips of lemon juice until done. A little water then if you are thirsty. At night or in the morning there is a disorder, several times and the cleansing procedure is over. During this day again lighter foods, without meat, fat, etc. For two years I drank beer (also hellishly bad) every day and I started to feel my liver enlarged, heavy, it started to affect my sex and hardness :). And I was only 28 years old. And this shocked me a lot, better quality sex and health in general than pointless pouring. I recovered quickly as before. I limited drinking 1-2-3 times (mostly on weekends) a week. But weeks go by without drinking, my love of alcohol fades. Now I do not wear as before, I drank 1 liter of whiskey at 75 kg without drifting and a special problem, at the moment such an amount will probably put me in Pirogov. Think if you want over such an option (about 2 times a week), you obviously have an innate passion like me. And my father ten years ago had to be treated for ulcers and some other stomach problems. Otherwise, he has a good job, earns a lot of money, has not failed, but limit drinking only on weekends. And he, like you, told me that in the evening after work 200g. brandy relieved him of stress for years.
Get read comment 4. Just because you don't drink right now doesn't mean you're not an alcoholic. Get educated a little.
Dude, I understand your grief. I hope you understand that without an alcoholic it is very bad.
Don't worry, you're not an alcoholic, once you stop drinking it's good, don't complain about it, all alcoholics die early and fail in life, you don't have to drink.
You are an alcoholic, and your body is struggling. Listen to him before it's too late.
Author: I tried all possible tests on the net and everyone is adamant that I am far from alcohol dependence. I was honest with myself when filling it out, so these assumptions of yours are unfounded and now I am 110% sure that I am not addicted. I inquired and realized that in fact this could be due to alcoholism, but it could also be due to a bunch of other things - diet (and I changed it because I lost weight), emotional state (also there is a change because some things in my life) and others. So this alone is not reason enough to say that you are an alcoholic. Last night I deliberately tried to hit a brandy to see how I would feel. So far, I've enjoyed drinking, but I couldn't stand the hangover the next day. Last night, however, I not only didn't like the alcohol, but I was just disgusted by its taste and smell, it was as if I were drinking for the first time. It was foreign to me somehow. I took 2 sips and left it. I don't think I drink anymore, I just stopped tolerating alcohol. In addition, I lose weight, and alcohol is high in calories, and it opens the appetite. Another thing I read is that if you drink 210 ml for men and 140 ml for women abs. alcohol per week and max. 4 days a week, without leading to (desire for) more, so there is no problem, otherwise it is risky. I say the latter about people, otherwise I have no intention of drinking soon, maybe forever. BUT even if I ever start it will be within those limits. alcohol per week and max. 4 days a week, without leading to (desire for) more, so there is no problem, otherwise it is risky.

Author, you are an alcoholic and like any alcoholic in the "I understand it now" phase, you deny it. This is a defensive reaction, calm down, in time you will realize it.
Until 18, read 16 again before pretending to be knowledgeable.
If you are an alcoholic, you will not be able to do without drinking, if you can, you are not without it, do not listen to those who tell you that you are like that.
Dude, the first stage of alcoholism, or alcoholism, is just that - denial. Read a little on the subject and you will understand for yourself. That you don't drink now is very good. Let's try 50 grams of brandy. Well, the guarantee will not be only 50. Then more, more, more. Especially if you've cleaned up a bit and see that you're OK after that. It will hit you like a freight train, I guarantee it. I don't invent these things. These are indisputable facts. I am also an alcoholic. I know it, but I keep drinking. A lot. Well, I achieved a small "victory" - I stopped all concentrate. And before I drank 5-6 large brandies every night. I had a small health problem that came on suddenly (not from alcohol) and my doctor forbade me to lick concentrate. That's why I don't drink it. But, on the other hand, I drink beer in industrial quantities - between 8 and 10 a day. Like white wine, when I sit down, I can add 3 liters without a problem. But I know I'm an alcoholic. Well, here is the place to add that I have stopped everything for 1-2 months, but then again, even more. It's very naughty, because it's like a train of horrors - up, down, up, down. And then just down. Alcoholism is a very terrible disease. DISEASE. It needs to be treated, although very few people realize it. I know that too, but I'm not doing anything about it. I think everything is pink, but it's not. This is scarier than drug addiction. There is a former drug addict, but a former alcoholic is not. This is for life. You need a very strong will to give up this thing, and to understand that for an alcoholic, even a beer can have a detrimental effect. As a person "spins" the drink, he wings himself, he gets cool, he thinks that the world is at his feet, etc. Nothing of the kind. Then, as you get a hangover and post-alcoholic depression, watch what happens. Why do alcoholics drink non-stop? Well, it's very simple - so that they do not get a hangover and depression. Thank God that I am still quite young and literate, so I work, but whether it will be so in years to come, no one knows if I continue like this. Realizing that you are an alcoholic will somehow make it easier for you and you have two options - either to stop it altogether, or to start down and down. I wish you success with all my heart !!! that you are an alcoholic will somehow make it easier for you and you have two options - either to stop it altogether, or to start down and down. I wish you success with all my heart !!! that you are an alcoholic will somehow make it easier for you and you have two options - either to stop it altogether, or to start down and down. I wish you success with all my heart !!!
From the author to 21 I know very well what alcoholism is, because my father is like that. He himself had a period in which he did not drink, but his was out of shame and will. Then he started again because he couldn't stand it. But for me it's different, it doesn't really attract me anymore and it's not in force, it will be in force if I drink again. As you say, I tried 50 g (by the way, I couldn't drink 50), but it wasn't as tasty as before, it just doesn't attract me anymore. So I won't drink more because I don't like it, so without alcohol I'm better off, why should I force myself? In my opinion, my liver simply warns me not to play with fire and to stop here until I become an alcoholic. But I'm just used to it, I won't force myself to "learn" to drink again, I don't even want to drink beer, let alone something harder. And I wish you success in the fight!
Do a few liver cleanses. In the link below there is a procedure for cleansing with natural remedies. It is available in different versions, but it is basically the same. http://www.zemianazaem.com/archives/94
Congratulations, author, on being disgusted. On the one hand, this can be interpreted purely psychologically, but on the other hand, this whole absolutely sudden reaction is embarrassing, and I think you should go to the doctor. Losing weight has never been a good sign, especially when done on your own, without dieting. Liver cleansing can also be done with milk thistle, which is natural and extremely effective. I personally drink this, but not the Bulgarian tablets, because they contain only 30-40 mg of concentrate from it, and I bought it from a German one, where the capsule contains ONLY 100 mg of milk thistle. Drink 1 per day. I feel much better. I am not a regular user of alcohol. I drink about 1-2 times a month, but I drink vodka and I drink it in quantities of 300 - 400 ml, which is a shock dose. I don't qualify who's an alcoholic and who's not, because I also don't know what my case is. But go to the doctor. Your body's sudden reaction - even at the moment - this disgust - is not normal. Greetings and good luck!
