Ok i have a question. Since I got covid I get extremely tired after drinking one bottle of wine and almost sick if i drink more than that with no drive at all for the full day and I feel somethi g is pushing near the liver. I thought it was muscular as it is not painful at all. I feel overall i became really weak to alcohol because of covid. I could drink one bottle of wine and run in the morning before. Should I worry?

Why in tarnation are you asking the comments on Hackernews for medical advice?

  Doesn't everybody get potentially life changing medical advice from Hacker news?

    If we learned anything in the last two years, we learned some number of people will seek and follow medical advice from anyone except medical professionals.

That seems like a question for your doctor, not random internet people.

When you have a list of symptoms you want to ask the internet about it’s probably something you should ask your doctor about instead. If that turns out to be useless then ask the internet.

I can’t give you medical advice, but if you’re being literal, a whole bottle of wine is a lot - 100ml+ of pure alcohol. Depending on your weight it’s basically halfway to an alcoholic coma. If you’ve been drinking at that rate you should definitely pay your doctor a visit.

  Depends enormously on a persons tolerance. Lemmy (from Motörhead) used to drink a bottle of Jack a day with no noticeable effects. This is probably not recommended though. I think though if you get severe side effects from drinking a bottle of wine (beyond a hangover) then you should probably not do that, speak to a doctor and continue to not do that until a doctor tells you otherwise.

  Not to minimize but in some cultures a bottle of wine might be viewed as an aperitif frankly. My brother in law used to drink 3 or 4 full bottles before he got stuck into his serious drinking. I'm glad to say he eventually kicked alcohol altogether. But the point stands: it isn't necessarily too much for some people to physically handle. It really depends on the human in question.

    Your brother in law was already serious drinking when he was dri king 3-4 bottles of wine at a time.

    I'm European and weigh around 70 kg but a bottle of wine is definitely not a light drink. To me, it's somewhere between medium and heavy drinking, depending on how fast I drink it and the ABV.

A bottle of wine should be enough to make anybody lethargic!

Had COVID ten days ago, noticed the same symptoms. Feel fine in general, but two glasses of wine made me feel like I'm dying. Seems like others have noticed the problem, but fortunately it's not causing widespread (adult) liver failure. https://www.kevinmd.com/2021/03/could-a-glass-of-wine-diagnose-long-covid.html https://www.kevinmd.com/2021/03/could-a-glass-of-wine-diagno...

have hepatitis - pre covid drinking could be not great - post covid I can't drink a drop - feel the worst I've ever felt for days on end

Possibly thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is required to metabolize glucose and heavy drinkers have this deficiency. Covid seems to have a similar effect. Get your daily 100-200mg B1 HCL for a while and see if it improves. If you suspect liver, try betaine.

Your best bet would be to talk to an actual doctor. They should be able to run tests that can gauge your liver function levels.

Since the liver is the body's primary blood filtration system, pretty much anything that disturbs the normal bodily processes puts a strain on the liver. My mother had a near-zero tolerance for alcohol for almost a decade, while struggling with post-viral CFS in the 90s. I wouldn't immediately worry about your alcohol tolerance following sickness, but do see a physician if it takes more than a few months (say, 4-6) to return to your previous "default" state. (and yes, IANAD, IANYD, TINMA and all the usual disclaimers about seeking Internet advice)
