Am I so old that sugar gives me hangovers? - eviltoast

I just wanted to binge on some Skittles like it’s 1995.

      All I know is I ate way more sugar than usual last night which was otherwise a very normal boring night. And this morning my mood is pretty trash and I’m a bit more anxious than usual. Not a scientific study by any means but there’s definitely some correlation for me in the past.

        It’s likely, that your blood sugar spiked due to the Skittles, your body overreacted, excreted tons of insulin, that crashed your blood sugar and now you’re simply hypoglycemic, that is, your blood sugar is too low.

      You’re probably eating like 10x+ the sugar you should. Most people do. But yeah, processed sugar is crazy bad for you.

      5g of water can be absorbed for every 1g of carbs eaten. So it’s dehydration.

      People that have tried to “cheat” while on Keto know this pain. It’s also why they woosh 10lbs first on that diet. No carbs = shedding water weight.

    Former drinker here. Sugar indeed causes bitch-ass hangovers! Worse than your beer vodka bourbon mix ever conceived.

    Oh yeah, also chocolate. If you like a sweet, eat it at lunch.
