Calling all SWers who are more alcohol-savvy than I …
I guess the core of my problem is that alcohol simply disagrees w/ me, at least that's the conclusion I have drawn, but still looking for other thoughts on this. I realise that every1 responds differently to alcohol, but I have always seemed to miss my body's 'Stop drinking goddammit!' signals. I tend to keep pretty lvl-headed, w/ only a handful of exceptions I have not gotten 'falling down drunk', & I make a conscious effort to space-out my drinks (no more than one drink per hour) & often drink juice or water between drinks. Yet almost anytime I have more than the equivalent of 1-2 beers, I end up violently sick, sm times hrs after I cut myself off. I have noticed this both when mixing drinks over the course of several hrs, & when sticking to the same drink over the course of 2+hrs.
When I start feeling a little buzzed, I try to not go over that 'slight' feeling. I don't experience any kind of nausea or heartburn, & by the time I do, of course it's too late & I know it'll be just a few min until I start throwing up. Thing is, like I said, the nausea usually only starts long after I've quit ingesting alcohol. I have noticed that as I start getting more tipsy, I become a bit over-vigilant bc I'm aware of my reflexes becoming slowed, but I have always thought that was just me being paranoid. The last time I went out drinking w/ a friend, I had maybe 4 drinks over 5hrs, w/ water or juice between each one, & felt completely fine until I got home -- no tipsiness, no upset stomach, no nothing -- then pulled up to my house & 10min later the puking started. This is the typical way of it. My question is, are there other signs that I'm missing that my body's telling me to cut myself off? Could the drinking itself be suppressing subtler signs to stop, even when I'm taking them in smaller amounts?
I have nvr been a huge drinker so it's not like I'm sweating at the thought of 'Oh shit only one beer per day tops!' Hopefully I have not come across in this post as being a lush! I am just really wondering if there's smtg I've been missing all this time that's causing me to overdo it & not realising until several hrs later when the puking starts.

), śliwo, etc. If I stick to beer I am usually ok but more than two, even over the course of a few hrs, I still get sick.
