I wish there wasn’t some weird issue for me that means even a little alcohol makes me feel flushed, sick and really anxious. (And my stomach wasn’t messed up anyway.)

I just want to relax and have a beer :(

Maybe it would chill me out enough to just enjoy hobbies for what they are and not make them a further source of stress.

zero alcohol beer does the trick for me if you don’t mind that there is no alcohol there and just want the taste.

Have you tried white spirits? A half shot gin and tonic in a tall glass with lots of ice usually does the trick for me. I get the same anxiety from drinking as well and that usually does the trick.

It seems to be all of it unfortunately. Kind of like a weird allergy
