Depressed/Sad After Drinking

[Datura]

Stop drinking Black Label and switch to Windhoek

There is something very wrong with you!

So I was at an event last night drank a bit; not too much but quite a bit. Afterwards going home and then today as well I feel depressed and sad, also like I am a failure and everything I do is wrong/stupid.

This isn't a hangover feeling, it's an emotional one, and then I thought to myself this happens most times when I drink to the point of becoming drunkish.

Anyone else?

It's not the alcohol Pooky - it's your reality.

If it were me I'd say it's not the alcohol. I'd say the alcohol is leading to other BS in your life, which you normally keep repressed, to creep to the surface.

I'm pretty happy, and the only things I'm trying to improve in my life is my job satisfaction levels and finding a significant other/friend with benefits. I get drunk and do these "issues" make me miserable? Not at all. I normally get very flirty/horny/loud and will laugh at any excuse. Even when I'm hung over I don't get sad, usually just think to myself "Omfg. Never again!"

But that may just be me. I suggest you find a friend/shrink that you trust and talk to them about the stuff in your life that is making you sad. Might help.

I never feel depressed while drinking, but I do tend to feel kind of blue the next day. Usually related to some kind of embarrassment about how I might have behaved or what I might've said. Last night I fell in a ditch at the BMW Polo test match.

The only time I get depressed after a night drinking is if I wake up and find theres no naked hottie lying next to me.

Its a rare sight, but it does happen.

Baie interresant! Ek het nie geweet nie dat baie mense dit ook ervaar. Dit gebeur my vaak as ek alleen drink. Eers is ek bly en gaan ek dans , maar dan voel ek my n bietjie somber, en ek raak soms selfs kwaad ! Daarom drink ek nooit meer alleen nie.

Hoekom het ek nog nooit van die woord dronkverdriet gehoor!

Without a doubt Pooky.

It's terrible and I can get totally ****ed up for weeks if I drink excessively.

If a person is prone to depression I think drinking should be a no-no, frankly.

I am trying very hard to limit my consumption specifically for this reason.

Just symptoms of a hangover, took me 2 days to get over it once unless you popped a E....

Not just symptoms from a hangover if it lasts for weeks, which it can with myself. Same thing as E, drains your serotonin levels.
