Will I ever be able to drink happily again?

Question

Before new years eve I've always enjoyed drinking socially at parties and with friends. On new years eve I had way too much to drink and ended up getting sick and starting the year 2008 with a terrible hangover. Ever since then I shudder at the thought of alcohol and whenever I smell hard liquor like rum, vodka or whiskey I gag. Is there any way to get rid of these feelings?

Answer 1

You could be a happy drinker again :o)  It's just a mental thing - try to stick to what you like and take it slow at first.  You will need to build your tolerance back up before you get all crazy :o)  Try not to focus on smelling what you are about to drink and just take a couple sips to get back in the swing of things!  Happy Drinking :o)

Answer 2

Well that's a good thing if you don't wanna go back to drinking hard liquor.Now you should try some kind of wine that  you like..

Answer 4

Sorry to say this, but you may not ever drink the way you did. I got sooo drunk about 5 months ago, I threw up and I felt so sick. I have not drank any shots since that night because the thought of hard liquor makes my insides turn. Now I drink beer and wines. Besides who likes those nasty hangovers anyway?? Drink in moderation so you can actually enjoy yourself.
