Rumination on libation

Here on the beach in the Caribbean, a wide variety of fruit rum drinks are readily available. They are delcious, but I notice that a half hour after enjoying one I feel a strong desire for a nap. As a matter of fact, though I don’t often drink hard liquor (having only recently come to appreciate Scotch for example), when I do, it has the same effect. In contrast, champagne never makes me tired. Instead I just become increasing happy with dose. Why is there such a difference????? If I felt like thinking hard, I would probably consider factors such as time of day, blood suger levels, etc. and perhaps find some rational explanation. But I am on vacation, so instead I will limit myself to one fruit drink/day…. Then just drink champagne.

Life is difficult here.
