Last night, after 2 ciders, the beast of alcohol almost sent me to the hospital :( I am So bummed. Any recommendations for vitamins or supplements that may help imbibe occasionally?

Vitamin/Supplements

I two low alcohol apple ciders last night, didn't even feel buzzed. I danced with my husband, and walked home feeling just elated for this spontaneous outting in our neighborhood. Came home, drank a glass of water, took my progesterone... fell asleep. Around 1am, I awoke with this inferno beast in my chest that radiated down my back through my whole body. I thought I had experienced a heat flash before, but Nothing NOThing had Ever felt even close to this heat in my body, what's more, my heart was Racing!! I had never experienced my heart racing before. I looked it up and it looks like it was totally alcohol related, even though I really didn't have that much to drink.

I'm sad. I'm not a big drinker, but I love the occassional cocktail. But after last night, and how scary that was... I guess I'm hangin up my cocktail hat? I'm going to a few festivals this summer and I'm just bummed I can't enjoy... Do any of you take any vitamins or do anything special that can help you enjoy a cocktail or two - or is it just completely dunzo??

I'm 51 and the last handful of times I've drank over these last 6 months, I've had more of a head ache than usual, but nothing like this :(
