Sick of it- everytime I have a drink I'm literally fighting to stay awake. I know its a relaxant but WTF? I was asleep/in bed by 9 last night, 9.30 on Sat night.

Any alcoholic drinks I can take that keep you perky for longer?!

Alcohol is a depressant, not a relaxant. Try whiz or coke instead.

How much do you drink? 11 pints a night or something like?

Try Wine, at least 2 bottles of Red, for that proper knockout feeling then awake by 3am.. 😉

I'm the opposite, if I have a few I'm liable to fall asleep on the sofa as soon as I get in the house. If I have quite a few then you'll likely have to send out someone with a taser to even get me to leave the pub.

Sat night: two pints of Oyster Stout, 1 Gin. BANG.

Last night: two glasses of red, one beer (it was still sat there FULL this morning).

Tonight I'll be upto 11 watching tv and doing stuff.

I find it has a similar effect. Fall asleep then 3-4 hours later I'm wide awake and can't get back to sleep. I'm almost.....gulp.........holding back tears.............teetotal now.

I must win this fight!

Be careful out there, I'm floored by 2 pints of real ale but I can sleep right through.. If I have Red Wine, say two glasses, I'm awake by 4am for about an hour then back off to sleep.. I've stopped drinking Red Wine during the week now, I'll hack off a couple of real ales quite happily mind and I have the odd G&T too.

I'd suggest there is a correlation of the amount of riding/excersie you do without letting your body replenish it's self with "good stuff" and substituting that "good stuff" with beer, not that beer isn't "good stuff" but not in the freerange spectrum 😆

Or of course ride more and totally knacker yourself and give up beer, your choice 😉
