I don't know if I am submitting this in the correct forum but I didn't see another one to try just yet. I am 47 and have been a social drinker since I became of age. Within the last year I suddenly cannot drink any alcohol. I get as sick as if I had been on a binge - trembling sick with nausea when I go to bed. I have to throw up everything in my stomach and then take phenergan. I am violently ill. Two years ago I lost 20+ lbs by cutting carbs. Could this have caused any chemical changes? I don't drink a drop any more. I can live without alcohol but am very puzzled about this sudden change. What could cause it? Thank you.

I am a 41 yr old female who has enjoyed drinking socially since the age of 18. Lately when I drink 2 to 3 alcoholic drinks even over a period of time I become violently ill. The last episode just happened on Sunday and I vomited for 12 hours. Still being sick today (Monday June 1st) I went to see my doctor. They drew some blood and when I get my results back this week I'll post the findings. My guess is I have become alcohol intolerant. I also realized this has been gradually getting worse with symptoms starting as early as last summer. Hopefully we can find an answer. While I'm fine with never drinking again I'd just like some assurance it isn't a symptom of a more serious condition.

Thanks for the update on your bloodwork. Glad everything looks good. I have had gastritis several times and it is very painful. My nausea is not associated with pain and I'm pretty sure not gastritis. Unless you have pain with or days after your episodes I would keep asking questions unless you just don't mind not drinking. I'm over it - mostly. Thanks sseaweed.
