That said, aching all over the body suggests something blood circulation or gland related. Whatever it is though, the smart thing to do would be to take the massive hint your body's giving you and flaming well drink less, before it does you any real damage.
Firstly I never said I necked a whole bottle of wine a night, but sometimes with party or a night out you do.

This is me carrying Jamie up a big hill a few years ago because he was too tired and crap to walk.



No, it's not photoshopped, he really is that titchy.

It could be menstruation related because Lou is a woman, but yes sure drinking less during that time would probably help.

Sorry, that was a real film photo- I have the original but it needs re-scanning.

I look like Silly Idol, and Jamie looks like Gollum's aborted twin.

So, I take it from your comment, you have never over indulged. Yeah, right

I wouldn't claim I never a touch a drop in one sentence, and in the next say I'll get through a whole bottle of wine in one evening, if that's what you're asking.

A bottle is a fair bit to drink in a session. Maybe moderation might help.

Might be intolerance to alcohol,could be having a reaction to certain chemicals/ingredients in beer,like the malt,yeast etc did you say its worse when you drink beer.
Might be worth having a skin test,they can usually tell from that if you are having a reaction/allergic to certain ingredients used in alcohol.....

You are consuming a weeks worth of alcohol in one sitting and we have established your not young. This is not a smart policy, since your body is clearly finding it extreamly hard to work the poison out of your system.

Certainly to me this sounds like a Liver problem, struggling to clear the poison from your system. Get some Milk Thistle from a health shop or even e-bay. That is PROVEN to clear your liver, and aids its function.

Also consider a lifestyle change, over indulgence is one thing, but when your body is screaming out for you not to do something, it tends to be time to listen....

OK, so saying don't drink any more is unrealistic, but what about drinking alcohol and a glass of water alternatively?

BTW, wine is awful for dehydration I've found.
Alcohol is not bad, comma, half a glass to a glass of decent red wine per day has myriad health benefits. Full stop.

Morning Lou, morning all. Do you get anxiety and nausea as well as the aches and pains?

Lou, looking at this from the other angle - maybe you should drink a little more quantity, a little more often to see if you can build up a tolerance. Obviosuly, don't start with a litre of vodka, but maybe some of the weaker lagers, Carling C2 perhaps.

My other thought was to get some Becks Blue (their alcohol free stuff) which, if it is alcohol causing your symptoms, should leave you feeling fine the next day.

Oh, and Jamie is an annoying *****, but he's got the proud achievement of being the only person on my ignore list. He's that spethal.

Just a thought but do you think it has anything to do with my face swelling the other week?

Despite what people may think, I'm not an alcoholic and my friends drink way more than me!
