When Tired
Drinking alcohol while exhausted can make you feel drunker than usual. See, tiredness slows your mental processes down. As a result, your ability to think and move might decrease. It is this decreased ability to think and move that makes you feel drunker than you are.
When Hungry
Drinking on an empty stomach makes the body absorb alcohol at a faster rate. Due to this, your blood alcohol might become dangerously high, affecting your thinking and movement. If you are starving or fasting, you might suffer from a metabolic complication called alcohol ketoacidosis.
When Stressed
Alcohol can slow your brain and central nervous system. This fosters relaxation, but for a short time. As a credentialed therapist, I always tell my clients to avoid making alcohol their go-to stress reliever. This is because eliminating stress with alcohol does more harm than good.
When On Medication
Alcohol can interact with medications, making them less effective. Mixing alcohol and medications might also cause side effects, including headaches, fainting, vomiting or nausea, drowsiness and poor coordination.
Drinking Quicker Than Usual
When you drink quicker than usual, your liver will digest a small amount of alcohol. This means most of the alcohol will accumulate in your bloodstream, causing your blood alcohol levels to increase. The result? You get drunker quicker.
