Alcohol, caffeine and anxiety!

The Riddler

I’ve noticed recently that if I drink alcohol, and I mean 1 or 2 glasses of wine, a bottle of beer or two (not on the same night), my anxiety is increased the following day. Sometimes for a few days afterwards. I also think this happens with caffeine once I go over a certain amount.

Is this a thing for others or am just sensitive to it?

  • I drink once a week a full bottle of good red wine in one sitting. Then I feel a bit woozy, and the next day I feel a bit less smart, but I guess it keeps me going, it didn't increase in the last 5 years, so I'm not afraid of becoming an alcoholic. It's just my evening of (<control>/<alt>/<delete>).

    Coffee, I drink about 8 espresso's a day. I bought a cheap espresso-machine about a year ago, and I don't think I'll ever go without. Especially now with the lockdown. I can drink an espresso and go to bed right after, and actually sleep... I would move to a place where I could grow my own plants iff they wouldn't sell coffee here in europe anymore. I also don't notice any difference between cheap and expensive beans, but the smell of freshly ground coffee powder is devine to me. I have the same with freshly ground pepper, wonderful.
