Alcohol euphoria lasts way too short.

If I have a drink, it feels like heaven in the first 5 minutes. I read it’s the body releasing opioids when the blood alcohol level is rising. I need to continue drinking to prolong the euphoria.

Then I just feel buzzed/drunk and get annoyed at the hours it takes to sober up. I don’t filter my words as much and act stupid, but I still feel anxiety inside mentally.

Can anyone relate?
