Mike - don't fret...things will get better. Hope you didn't suffer too much from whatever youu drank. You're a lot younger than I am (58) and I've found out as I've grown older that the best way to handle problems is to talk to yourself and reason out things. The most important person right now is you and the most important thing right now is your health. Other people have no way of knowing what you're going through (except us, that is) right now. If they're your friends they'll understand.

A lot more people have IBS than know it. My sister and her husband have it but are on that river called Denial. They complain about passing gas all the time but yet they won't listen to me when I try to tell them about the differences in fiber. I told them I was like that (and my sister especially knows) and that now I'm practically gas free. Guess they're not in bad enough shape yet. Oh, well. Sometimes you can't help anybody but yourself.

Good luck and keep posting. We'll be your support in times of need.
