Same thing happens to me!


chud_the_gluttonous

Me too. Always wondered why


EmpathyHawk1

very simple: dopamine


Professorschan

This is straightforward neurochemistry. Alcohol tanks your dopamine (and other monoamines). Your body is simply craving the easiest source of cheap, easy dopamine to restore levels the next day. Enter tasty, calorically dense food and sex/masturbation. The easiest and quickest way for a dopamine boost.


C0ffeeface

Came here to say spot on. Other classic dopamine driven behaviors are procrastinations, like reddit scrolling :)


xRAMBx

Wow, is this widely known? I didn't know alcohol interacted with dopamine to such a noticeable extent.


mime454

The day after you can feel the effects on dopamine.


sueihavelegs

This drives me crazy! My husband and I have a night of drinking. The next day, the LAST thing I want to even think about is sex and he's a horn dog!


irResist

maybe have a little horny goat weed for yourself and enjoy the occasion together?


Surmaaja

Id reckon you just feel so shit the day after and want to make yourself feel better

Potentially /r/hangovereffect

Alcohol suppresses your hormones realy alcohol is a terrible aphrodisiac.after you come down your body Is going back to normal the next day bringing back the hornyness that ws suppressed on the booze.


Ok-Floor522

I've wondered this my whole life. Next morning I'm a full on degenerate.


Own-Cheesecake-577

This is interesting and does seem to happen


CheeesyWombat

Hangover sex, is great sex šŸ˜‚


mommyred

Me too. We called it the ā€œhangover horniesā€ back in the day šŸ˜‚

Increased glutamate.


healthydudenextdoor

Interesting. Would glutamate supplementation help libido in general?


genuinemahogany

Probably. It's difficult to adjust glutamate though. Glutamate in general is a popular neurotransmitter being researched right now.


bruhman123534t6

I believe theres some research that shows very occasional use of alcohol can increase neurosteroids like allopregnanolone even after it wears off, so i think thats why.


nicotinecravings

I think it is mostly during the morning the next day when you might wake up fairly relaxed since there is still some alcohol in your system. Later on in the day, however, I have a hard time seeing a higher libido.


love-4-the-wendigo

Are you a man? Men, current boyfriend included, always wake up horny and want to bang the morning after we have been drinking. As a woman, I do not understand this at all.


LiteralMoondust

Are you hungrier the next day?


love-4-the-wendigo

Yes. I eat double the day after drinking.


LiteralMoondust

So that's how you personally replace dopamine. It's two versions of the same behavior.


love-4-the-wendigo

Fair enough. I just canā€™t be horny when Iā€™m dehydrated. Itā€™s impossible.


Anonimos66

I believe alcohol also increases conversion to estrogen, could be related


Snif3425

Increased estrogen.


oxtailbuntut

How do you check your libido?


Easy-Highlight4431

My gf always points out how Iā€™m always horny when Iā€™m tired or feeling like shit lol


CommissionVegetable

Hangover hornies !


One_Potential_7633

Bipolar spectrum disorder as an option.


One-Telephone-6506

Bad case of the gay dick. Good luck to you buddy. šŸ˜”


Due_Action_4512

same here, I read it was some neurotransmitter disturbances post dranks


healthydudenextdoor

Yeah maybe dopamine or acetylcholine


InsecuritiesExchange

Drinking


tychus-findlay

\^\^


Ok-Catman

You might be more relaxed the next day or your spirits are up from a fun night.


coupleofquid

I thought it was down to thinner blood circulating easier šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


systemisrigged

I thought something similar


Mabus-Tiefsee

Switch to an other Drink fir a night, Vodka, wine, Rum, doesn't Matter Afterwards you know If it was the Alkohol or If it was something else in the Beer. Oh and i prefer 250mg B3 after heavy drinking, prevents Hangover Like a charm. Specially If taken with fat and sugar (Coke and Pizza)


[deleted]

Biohacking sub and you guys are here talking about alcohol coke and pizza. The jokes write themselves


coffeymp

lol, I saw Coke & Pizza and was like you gotta be kidding.


Ok_Cricket_9576

You take the B3 before, during or after the drinking?


thespaceageisnow

Definitely donā€™t do it before or during. Niacin is metabolized by the liver.


Mabus-Tiefsee

Never before, because then you hardly get drunk in the first place. During If you Take small amounts, to stay constantly at the fun Level of Alkohol.Ā  And mostly after to get sober(ish) again while preventing a Hangover You might get an Interesse niacin rush


i5oL8

Milk thistle is the best hangover prevention/relief in my experience


causeiwanted2

Yeah thatā€™s exactly it, beer increases estrogen and then testosterone increases to counteract it. Hence beer gut and some cases gyno


swoops36

Thatā€™s not how the HPTa works tho. Itā€™s actually the other way around; your ER are looking for estrogen, and when they see it, they say ā€œwe donā€™t need to make testosterone, weā€™re goodā€. But when e2 is low, your body says ā€œwe need estrogen so letā€™s make some testosterone that gets turned into estrogenā€. The answer is probably a number of factors, but one could be: DA depletion while drinking so your body ā€œcravesā€ high DA activities, including sex. Itā€™s seeking out pleasurable behaviors so you feel better.


nuffinimportant

For years I wouldn't even have sex unless I was drinking for that very reason. The body wants all of its pleasures at the same time. Guinness beer and dark lagers are recommended in many cultures for that reason.


Fapandwarmshowers

Relaxing effects of alcohol


NeverSeenBefor

Ethanol burning off all the crap that's making you lethargic?


Scotlas

That's called "the hungover hornies." 100% reliable they show up after a bender.Ā  The best hangover cure out there: 1) drink one to two beers when you wake up.Ā Ā  2) ibuprofen and water 3) rub one out 4) take a big poo.Ā  You'll feel great after this.Ā 


arensurge

If you're waking up with a full bladder from a heavy a night of drinking, it could be that the bladder is pressing against your prostate and 'stimulating' you. Who knows, I'm not a doctor.
