always glad to entertain, but different alcohol definitely has different impacts on me/my sleep and recovery.
I rarely get hangovers unless I've gone really hard but bad sleeps have been the main negative impact
eg red wine (and particularly bigger reds..Shiraz, heavy Cabernets etc) impact my anxiety levels in a way that beer never ever does. I'm almost guaranteed to wake up at 4am and start irrationally worrying about something if I have too much wine. Whereas with beer, I'll wake up for a pee of course, but straight back to sleep. But bloating gets bad while drinking so my beer consumption is capped at 3-4 before I need to move onto something else
I've started to find scotch drinking is also hitting night time nervous system in a similar way to red. Prior to this, the only impact of scotch to date has been the vague, headachy slightly annoyed countenance the next day if I've drunk too much. I'll no doubt still get that with too much bourbon but it is yet to impact my sleep in the same way as scotch has started to. Plus I'm enjoying the slightly sweeter tastes
