When I was young I started going to Happy Hours with a friend after we got off from work. I researched drinking (I have always wanted to know things) and read that it takes an hour for the liquor that you drink to oxidize. I did not want to get inebriated since I had to drive home. I gauged my drinking to fit this. One drink per hour, etc.
Well, today as a senior lady, I do not have to drink too much to get loopy. When I wake up in the morning I usually feel pretty good upon rising and can make it into the kitchen to fix my coffee. BUT, that being done, the woozy inebriated feeling and sets in. I stagger around like I am drunk. This is before my meds, which do help. And of course, a little food goes a long way to help this feeling.
Who knew, that getting older could feel like you have been partying all night?
