I was a huge vodka drinker. Then when I wanted to try & quit, I did beer (per hubby). I found that I got deathly ill after I went on my vodka binges (snuck it) . I'm also assuming the fact that I drank for a huge number of yrs and have gotten older that each detox time after a binge was worse than the previous.
btw- (49 here) and welcome~~my nose also also ran like a faucet the morning after drinking vodka (but not beer).
