Yep, I kinda knew it from talking to people but until I did the research for this post I didn’t realise that white wine and mood swings were actually a ‘thing’. Coming off it is hard though!

I’m glad to read that this is a common thing and actually based in science. I’ve thought for a long time that alcohol (any sort really, but I do tend to go for white wine) leaves me feeling a bit under the weather for a day or two after. I just didn’t know for sure whether it was due to the alcohol or other factors (like the late night, the financial guilt, the foot in mouth I seem to suffer from…!). Will definitely be remembering this next time I’m tempted to overindulge!

Yeah, I have a friend who is GF and beer is the things she misses the most! I reckon our bodies are intolerant to so many things as we age. Ah, sucks doesn’t it.

I’ve never heard of vanilla vodka, that sounds … interesting. I can’t quite wrap my head around the vanilla, vodka and ginger combo! I’ve had too many silly nights on Kahlua (usually ending in vomit! LOL) so any dark spirits are a no go for me!

I’m not a red wine drinker sadly, apparently it is actually good for you in small quantities but it also makes you drunk faster in my experience! Probably why I am not a fan!

I’m partial to vanilla vodka with ginger ale & lime. I love kahlua or Malibu with Coke & i’ll never say no to a Baileys 🙂 I have a weakness for cocktails too!

I can’t drink nearly as much as I used to, but I still like a glass or two and although I am trying to cut back, I could never give up my glass of wine completely! Funnily enough, I find red wine makes me feel shabbiest AND it keeps me awake at night. Maybe rose wine might be the perfect compromise!

I love white wine, but I have to watch it, it gives me horrible acid and then in the morning a headache/migraine. I do better with rum or vodka as long as I know my limit, which isn’t very many anymore! Now that I’m gluten-free I can’t just grab a beer! LOL So, yes I have slowed down my drinking as I got older, but mostly because of my body, not because I don’t like it! Bummer, huh?
