I have been drinking less and less as i get older. In part because i don't go out that much to socialise due to having a 2 y/o.
I will have a glass of wine occasionally and i reckon i probably have 2 glasses per month approx.
I went out this weekend for a christmas night out with male friends and i drank 2 1/2 pints of beer / lager. I enjoyed myself and didn't really feel the effects from the alcohol that much.
However, the next day i was much more tired. It was most noticeable in the afternoon and i had to go for a sleep at 3pm (not like me).
So i wondered what has happened here ? Am i just getting worse at processing the alcohol ? Could cortisol have been affected by the alcohol, so putting my thyroid / adrenal axis slightly off.
I am hypothyroid and take T4 and a little T3 and generally do well.
