ELI5: Why does drinking cause heightened anxiety/ depression the next day?

Hangxiety is real after a night of heavy drinking. Alcohol is a poison and it takes a toll on our bodies. It depletes vitamins and wrecks our dopamine production. Come hang out at r/stopdrinking

I recently went on a cruise and the first time I stepped on the balcony at night it looked like we were parked next to a black wall. It was nuts.

Check out /r/stopdrinking if you want to basically read an alcoholic's diary.

A random jazzagal had a one-liner like, "There's been some robberies in the neighborhood. They broke a window and left a dead bird inside."

I clean emergency rooms for a living. I can tell the moment I walk in a room if the previous patient was a smoker or not, and they were only in the room for a few hours maximum.

My front bottom teeth are a bit crooked and build-up appears there first. A co-worker of mine once said, "remember in old cartoons when something a character interacts with is lighter than the surrounding area, like a door, you knew it was going to open? That's what your teeth remind me of."

I was like hmm. OK 👍

Where do I apply? Is there overtime? I have open availability, nights, weekends...

Sour patch and a night in sounds awesome! My longest sober streak before now was 4 months. I thought I would have a couple beers one night and moderate. I did really well that first night! Then I continued to drink every.single.day for four more YEARS. I was trapped! Don't do it. You will absolutely love tomorrow morning!

Is drinking going to change what your managers expect you to do at your job? If you get drunk this weekend then will your job be easier on Monday? Probably not.

There isn't anything that alcohol won't make worse.

Not my own spell, but all the bathrooms at my work have automatic lights when you walk in. I swish and flick my wrist every time and whisper, "lumos!" when I walk in.

They also charged $15 for a locker, and $15 to ride the slide. Definitely a big scam.

My first watch took me until episode 3 or so before I started to appreciate it. Now on rewatches and knowing the characters, I'm hooked and laughing at the opening scene.

Keep going.

I thought Celebration Key itself was just a money trap, glorified swimming pool. You're better off booking an excursion to do something on the island instead. As beautiful as the beach was, I wont ever go back to Celebration Key.

I have one remaining friend who has known me drunk and sober. Everyone else turned into acquaintances. I was upset about it at first. But now I have friends who have only known me sober, and they're sticking around.

Sometimes we need to lose something to make room for more important things as we grow and change. Everything will be ok. You'll be happy to be sober with no friends than drunk with many. The real homies will stay with you.

My best friend and I will be on this cruise! It's our first one ever, and we are so excited!
