I only have this issue when I drink hard cider - not wine, other beer, or spirits. I will have even just 1 or 2 without really feeling buzzed. After waking up the next day, I have no feeling anywhere in my whole body and this will gradually lessen with the next 3 days. It's still annoying and would be helpful to know why this happens. It just started, too. I've had hard cider in previous years without this happening.
Continued alcohol consumption can cause peripheral neuropathy. This and Wernickes encephalopathy can be aided by increased B vitamin consumption, partcularly thiamin (B1). Which is why alcoholics seeking help are prescribed a B vit complex. Talk to your GP for goodness sake, and try to get this sorted as it could be indicative of all sorts of potential problems.
I have had this problem since I was in college :) therefore I have never cared too much for drinking. One glass of wine partially numbs my tongue good enough that I can bite it and it won't even hurt!!!! I also feel partial numbness to the nose. A heavy feeling and tiredsome feeling!!! Is this normal? I hate to see what would happen with more than one glass! Never done it ....scar
how long did it last??
1. Seems everyone is ignoring the hot peppers' affect on stomach lining, exacerbated by mild acids pineapple, OJ, then further assaulted by alcohol ,,, rum/sugar then magnifies the pain (also Coke later) ... this will make some feel faint sometimes - by itself. Think subtle pain transferred to it vagus nerve neighbor ... that runs at least stomach to brain.
2. Even an Aloha rum in a hurricane (large) glass shouldn't be that much alcohol to someone that drinks and seem too little to nerve compromise even a "tea sip". That said, many do have allergic reactions to the mix in tropical drinks, no matter the alcohol base.
Therefore, considering this strong reaction, it's now become very important to isolate, then avoid all contact with the offender.
First to go would be the alcohol, as nerve problems are first warning that the subsequent drinking attacks will be directed at kidneys and worse, liver = horrible nightmares in hospitals waiting for a transplant, then never having the same immunities and certainly no alcohol, not even in your dreams.
Second are the obvious hot peppers, anything spicy.
The rest may eventually pass muster solo but maybe not in combination with other suspects.
