I was recently reading that for alcoholics, the first few drinks actually sharpen the mind and give you energy. Also, I can do very boring things that need to be done when drunk. Like scrubbing the walls of my bird room. To do this sober is just overwhelming.
I think the sugar in alcohol gave me a LOT of energy, also, and when I don't drink, I feel just so dead. Are you sensitive to sugar? I am so this is why it makes me drag when I take all of that sugar out of my system.
I read over and over that it gets better, so hang in there,
