my sense of doom goes away almost entirely when I get a single night of zero sleep or very little sleep, hmm
it's like hypomania, but in molasses

Et tu, selene?
One of the main reasons I used to drink too much is the lack of sleep would trigger low-grade euphoria, sometimes for weeks.

Alas, for me, the 'feel like shit from alcohol' curve has positive skew relative to the "feel good from alcohol" curve.
I suspect this is actually a good thing.

This has become my baseline too, after I stopped drinking anything more than the occasional unit or two of alcohol.

just before getting pregnant I was already discovering that alcohol had a 1/3 chance of triggering a headache D: I'm not even in my 30s yet

Nor am I, but I'm much the same. I like whisky, beer and wine and will drink them for pleasure, but not to get drunk anymore.
Of course, this means I now get drunk if I have even, like, 3 beers, which is a bit annoying.
