Oh it's awful! Many years ago I went out to dinner with some friends and had a couple drinks before dinner was served. That was the first time I noticed it - I remember feeling so sick plus I start sweating, my heart was racing and it felt like I had shards of glass in my stomach. One of my co-workers has the same problem and she said it has to do with the lack of an enzyme needed to break down alcohol. Sometimes I'd love to tie one on but it's not worth how I'll end up feeling. Oh well....my friends & family always have a designated driver when we go out!
BTW - I'm so jealous you are going to Disney in October (I'll check out your PTR). That's when we usually go and we L-O-V-E it! DD is starting college this year so we are going in August instead. I'm still super happy we are going this year but I sure will miss the Food & (i can't drink) Wine Festival!
It is awful. You don't even get the fun of having a few once in a while. But you're right, it is so not worth the way you feel. I am often the DD as well...since I'm such a lightweight I won't have anything at all if I'm driving. But I do like the odd really fruity girly cocktail...that's just perfect for me...I can have that and feel ok...as long as I don't push my luck and try to have another. So it will take me several days at WDW to try a few different drinks lol. I am excited about food and wine too...well less so the wine lol...but there are some really good looking non-alcoholic drinks that I hope to partake in and maybe one of the real drinks lol. Sorry you are missing it but what can you do....at leat you are still going!
