Why does drinking make me sick nowadays?

I used to be able to drink no problem and could handle a lot of alcohol. Today I had a drink at a friend's house and feel like garbage. It's becoming a new thing where it makes me nauseous or messes with my anxiety. Heck I've had panic attacks wake me up because of it. Worst was when I had a single whiteclaw at a family bbq. Went to bed that night woke up with the worst damn panic attack. Everytime I see a whiteclaw I immediately recoil. I'm a beer and vodka guy. Beer doesn't hurt me as much as vodka does thankfully.

Tetany might do this, or more precisely low magnesium levels. It would make sense if you have panic attacks. If you have tetany, you can drink just a small amount of alcohol and already feel kind of drunk, dizzy, lightheaded and strange with altered perception. I can't say as if you were on drugs because I have never taken any but this is how I imagine it. Maybe that is what derealization is.

I am a pre diabetic and to keep my A1C blood sugar number in line I take Ozempic. I don't drink very often, but every now and then I enjoy a couple of drinks. Back at New Year's I had two mixed drinks. First I got sick and had the squirt's. While I was sitting on the toilet I started sweating. Then I passed out and woke up on the floor. Are you taking any medications? That could be your problem.

I've definitely noticed my body's ability to tank a few drinks fell off a cliff a few years ago. It's like when I hit thirty a switch was flipped.

I still drink the same amount(if not more) but I pay my dues by the end of it
