I tend to get sleepy when drinking some alchohol. Is there anyway I can prevent?

Eating somthing salty while drinking can help reduce your dizziness or sleepness dramatically.

Hungover. If I close my eyes it makes it worse.

Part of the reason alcohol gives hangovers is that it dehydrates the body.  Be sure to drink a lot of water.

I have the same problem.  \n\nUsually the alcohol isn't the problem.  It may be what additives are in.  Things such as yeast, corn, eggs, molds and sulfites can affect you.  Try drinking something different and see if it still happens.  Then compare the ingredients.\n\nIt also depends on the temperature and what you've been doing previously.  You may not be allergic to alcohol, but your surroundings might trigger something.

This depends on a lot of factors.\n\nYou need to look at the ingredients in the sleeping aid and check them for reactions with alcohol or any other medication you might be taking. One excellent site is www.healthyhealing.com.\n\nI would recommend refraining from much alcohol use as it can contribute to your feelings of anxiety and agitation.\n\nMany herbs can be obtained in an extract (liquid) form either with alcohol as the agent or glycerine. You might want to investigate that option as well. I used CalmChild by Planetary Formulas when my children used to have trouble because they would get wound up once in a while.\n\nOther suggestions:\n\nTry and set as much of a routine as you can ... even if you travel on your holidays ... get up at the same time eat at the same time, go to sleep... try and stay as close to normal home as possible.\n\nMaybe incorporate a nighttime tea time into your routine. There are many herbal teas which can be calming. (stay away from black teas which contain caffeine if you have issues with caffeine). A nice cup of tea and a book or magazine can help relax your mind to let you drift away.\n\nLook into the possibility of a relaxation tape or CD you could bring with you. Test it out before you go.\n\nInvestigate whether you MIGHT (keyword might) be able to use melatonin or 5-HTP to help. Lack of Serotonin can cause sleep issues.\n\nGet alot of physical movement -- walk, ride a bike, etc and be outside. \n\nGet sun (but stay protected).\n\nhope this helps.\n\nbest\n\ncez

Have a couple of drinks and yank it awhile.  You'll sleep like a baby.

Exercise, watch your diet so you're getting good nutrition, sleep regular hours.  Don't overindulge in caffine or alcohol.  Get enough social interaction too.  Try to live a well balanced life.

i find that if i stay hydrated and drink lots of water during that day i dont get headaches and am generally much more energetic. i can also think better and dont feel sluggish and blah. try drinking more water. that could be the problem right there! also, anything with caffeine doesn't count as staying hydrated. so no coffee, soda.....caffeine actually dehydrates you.

Heres a tip that might help - most alcoholics are deficient in B vitamins. If you stop drinking it would be a really good idea to take a B complex (must be a complex) vitamin each day for a little while. This will help with depression and mood swings, which you will probably encounter.

Stay active. Do something that requires your full attention such as cleaning, exersizing, dancing, talking. Keep the lights on and the music on a upbeat sing-a-longable (I know thats not a real word!) channel! Drinking caffiene will also keep you awake but it isnt good for your body.

I'm afraid you can't do much NOW, since you already have the actual hangover. But theoretically, if you drank enough water before drinking alcohal, then you won't get as dehydrated and thus, may be able to avoid the hangover. However, to COMPLETELY avoid it would take a lot of water.

Eat a light lunch that contains a protein such as chicken or fish, peanut butter or cheese. \nPasta, or breads or even many low-fat items are sources of carbohydrates which your body converts to sugar energy, and you'll get sleepy very quickly.

Why can't you spell or write properly?  You obviously don't need to drink, you need to keep the few brain cells you have left.\n\nDon't worry about such complex problems (forget about studies that show that alchohol affects the brain differently for people that are younger IE: 18) and instead worry about things more suited to you:  Why the sun is bright, what your favorite color is, ect.

Alka Seltzer cold or allergy in the capsule form.  If you are wanting to sleep it will knock your azz out but if you are working they also have a non-drowsy formula as well.

There isn't a beer that won't affect your fighting abilities, no matter what anyone says. Drinking causes you to gain weight, no matter the alchohol, and it slows your reaction time down. It also makes you slow overall. So, don't drink. I'm trying to get my boyfriend to quit...

Given that you can drink when you're pissed off makes me think that it is psychological issue.  I suggest that you drink more often and with a more positive attitude.  Stay focused.
