Since I quit drinking I sleep like a baby. Well, except for the first few weeks of withdrawing. That was like getting off heroin. Point is drinking f’d my sleep up.

You’re also an alcoholic so I guess if that gets you the good sleep more power to you

If I have a couple, I’m fine.

Over 3 and I’m wide awake at 500am.

I’ve cut my drinking in half since January and high liver enzymes in my bloodwork. I was at probably 20 to 25 drinks per week, now I’m at no more than 10 and preferably 7 or 8.

My sleep has improved dramatically.

I just want to know how long, after you stop drinking regularly, it takes to start sleeping well. Enough bourbon or whiskey puts me to sleep well. But even taking a few days off....can't sleep worth a crap.

If you mix enough Ambien and alcohol you can sleep forever

The number one reason I went to drinking once a week is because of sleep.

I sleep like shite after even two drinks. I wear a Fitbit. The Delta in resting hr from not drinking to drinking is something like 7-8 bpm. It's staggering.

The restful sleep I get two days removed from drinking is surreal.

Nothing but the devil at the bottom of that bottle, baws.

Down 10 lbs. Could be down a little more, but ice cream sure is delicious.

I drink probably double that a week. I know it is not a good thing.

I'll drink 4-6 beers or a half bottle of wine most nights, and some days I will kill like 15 beers and a few mixed drinks.

I could do 25 to 30 to 30 a week in my 20s. Take a week off and liver numbers would be fine. Now in the mid30s not so much. My liver could just be a bit sensitive though. No spots on ultrasound or anything, just high enzymes.

How did you have your liver tested? I probably need to have mine checked in all seriousness.
