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