Question: Why do i get joint and muscle pain and depression after drinking alcohol?

(Posted by: THOMAS I on 2008-11-18 16:10:41)

I was tested for allergies a year ago. It turns out I am allergic to yeast and sugar cane. When I drink beer, sake or wine the hangovers are intense with arthritic pain and muscle aches, depression, fatigue and IBS. When I drink distilled alcohol like vodka or tequila, the hangover is still intense but without the yeast component it is much better. I still get depressed the next day. Why are my hangovers so intense? I think because my body cannot handle the yeast or the sugar (that is in converted from alcohol or from the contents in cocktails). Anyone have any better theories? Does anyone know how alcohol changes into sugar and how much is converted. perhaps it is overwhelming on my body. My goal is to drink just pure vodka if I drink. And take chaser pills and take it with food.

Some people are not meant to drink alcohol. I think that is your problem.

I get depressed afterwards too. It's because you're coming down from the high you get off alcohol.
