Mayim Bialik learns the hard way that hangovers get worse with age: 'My drinking days are over'

The actress is not much of a heavy drinker but after hitting 40 she is now considering her shots, as she already feels 'weird' about the 'The Big Bang Theory' coming to an end.

Mayim Bialik has come to terms with the fact that aging is a disappointing experience and with the increasing age our capacity to handle hangovers decreases in a tremendous manner. The 'Big Bang Theory' actress who had recently celebrated Purim, a Jewish holiday, with costumes, parades, food and "festive drinking," explained that she is not much of a heavy drinker. However, the festival considers it to be a part of the celebration and as a result she ended drinking quite a lot in front of her children who are otherwise not used to watching her drink. 

On her blog, groknation, the 43-year-old actress described, "I nursed a weak scotch for the whole 90 minutes of the service. I didn’t feel drunk, but I definitely felt the warmth of the scotch turn me into a slightly less inhibited version of myself. They don’t call it “Liquid Courage” for nothing." The next morning was a bad one as she suffered from a terrible hangover. "I was far from fine," she says. "My headache was steady and dense. I was exhausted and felt completely depleted of energy. And I was GRUMPY. I was grumpy because the alcohol made me feel grumpy, but I was also grumpy because I should NOT be feeling this hungover from having only a few drinks throughout my night out."
