I went out drinking for my birthday…

I feel like shit.

Over about 10 hours, I had two cocktails and three beers. And I am going to bed feeling absolutely miserable. Zepbound has made me drink less in general and I was convinced today I could handle an ‘old’ drinking day. I could not.

If you would have told me three months ago, as a loyal daily drinker, that I would hate drinking now, I wouldn’t have believed you. But I seriously hate how it makes me feel and there is next to no joy or fun in it anymore. I’m already regretting how I will feel tomorrow. I’m a Cincinnati Bengals fan and I couldn’t even last through the game and fell asleep 2nd quarter cause of the alcohol.

I know all of this is because of Zepbound and I am actually grateful for it. My skin is clearer, my sleep is better and I’m down 35 lbs in 10 weeks. I just wish I would have stuck to mocktails today.

UPDATE: thank you to everyone for sharing your experiences or tips. For some context too, I had not had any alcohol for about 2 weeks prior to drinking yesterday and I ended up getting violently sick about an hour after I posted this. I’m pretty certain, today January 5th, is day one of my new sobriety.
