Is there something in strawberry margaritas that would cause insomnia?

[BWVDenise]

Last weekend I had one or two (or maybe it was three ) and then I couldn't sleep all night. I wondered if it was something about it being the strawberry kind that kept me awake b/c I never had that happen with the lime kind. I hadn't had a margarita in a very long time but I know they never kept me awake before! Is there caffiene in the strawberry ones?

I always have the strawberry margaritas (with tequila) and have never had a problem falling asleep. Shouldn't be any caffeine in it so I dont know.

I don't know, but I would be glad to be part of a clinical trial to test the caffienne level of strawberry margaritas! Somebody start mixing!

I've never even heard of strawberry margaritas. Sounds very good!

Strawberry Margharitas are the best. I love them. I always have trouble sleeping after drinking alcohol. I will fall asleep then wake up 2 hours later and be up for hours. It's very frustrating.

can have that effect on you. You said you hadn't had one in a while so it's possible that your body chemistry has changed a little since your last one, and now you are kept awake by it rather than getting drowsy.
Just like OTC cold medicines; most people take them to fall asleep, yet I take them and I'm bouncing off the walls.

yep, alcohol....it can do a number on you.

I had a huge, delicious strawberry daqueri at TGIFridays last night, and I slept like a baby!

What's the difference between a daqueri and a marguerita?

I think a daquari is made with rum, and a margarita is made with tequila.

Thanks Denise! I guess I should know what I'm drinking, huh? lol
