All those who have had the jabs, did you lay off alcohol for two weeks after?
I’ve past the two-week mark from jab one today, so.... Laphroaig Quarter Cask!

What happens if you drink within the two weeks?
I got a letter and booked a jab for the next day. I had to book a centre a few miles away to get next day.How much notice do they give you before getting the jab? A text the week before or is it longer or shorter.

I heard a Prof on R4 the other day, suggested lay off alcohol for 24 hours post jab then fine to drink
I have to admit I caved in at the weekend and had 2 beers and a glass of red. A few days early, but hardly a binge.I’ve past the two-week mark from jab one today, so.... Laphroaig Quarter Cask!
I'm 34 with underlying health conditions and have just received my letter inviting me to a covid jab at a local community centre on 3rd March. I presume it will be the A-Z one due to the cold storage requirements of the Pfizer and am therefore a bit concerned about the "nausea" side effect commonly reported with A-Z as I have a fear of vomiting (it sounds silly but my cerebral palsy makes what is a natural bodily function for most a very violent and potentially dangerous one, to such an extent that I do everything I can to avoid it). For those who experienced nausea with the A-Z jab, was it just a feeling of nausea or did it actually cause you to vomit? (I'd be grateful if you could leave out the gory details please!)
Yes, I have a small stock of Domperidone for such eventualities. Not sure if the stuff actually works but it certainly has a positive placebo effect so I'm glad I have it on hand.
A bit more background info: I've had severe GERD since around 2011, the onset of which was very sudden (I blame it on being told by my GP to stop a course of antibiotics halfway through for a suspected bacterial kidney/urine infection after tests came back negative, because my GERD symptoms appeared immediately after that). I struggled for the first year or so after that, feeling as if everything I ate was regurgitating, and was constantly on edge because of this, hence being prescribed antiemetics. After a couple of years my symptoms stabilised and became manageable, especially through the day, but my sleep is still often disrupted by coughing fits (I sleep on a 45 degree incline, haven't slept flat for 10 years now).
I started receiving annual flu vaccines after the swine flu pandemic of 2009(?), and the first few I received really knocked me for six for 24-48hrs with severe lethargy, shivers, visible shaking and intense feeling of nausea, but more recent flu jabs have had far less side effects on me. In fact, the one I received in December 2020 did nothing more than leave me with a sore arm and feeling a bit lethargic for the rest of the day, the next day I was back to normal. I don't know what this reveals about the potency of the flu jabs, or my body's seemingly lessening reactions to them...
On the balance of the replies here it seems I'm most likely getting worked up about nothing, but I think I'll still contact my GP and ask if it's at all possible to receive the Pfizer jab instead of the A-Z one.
From a survey of one - nothing, once I’d got over the 48 hour “flu” reaction to the AZ jab.What happens if you drink within the two weeks?
Old Wickes store in Mansfield. I asked the staff if they were fed up WITH diy jokes
Oh no, now I'm worrying about premature needle withdrawal! on top of early alcohol intake syndrome

Alcohol was not mentioned when I had the AZ.What happens if you drink within the two weeks?
