About 2 years ago I had my first sushi experience. Growing up it just wasn't a part of our food palette. My friends and family didn't help with that either. When everyone says it's gross.. you start to pick up on that. Looking back at it, I'm not sure they even tried the good stuff.

Every time I ate Sushi over the last 2 years I would have a beer. Also a light weight with beer it didn't take much to get me buzzed. I did however notice that It only took 1 beer to get me kinda drunk while eating sushi. Normally it would take 3 or 4 to get me this buzzed. I swore that I was getting high off of the sushi but my friends just though I was a super light weight.

Finally the last two times i've gone out for sushi I have done it without a beer. Turns out the high feeling is much more intense. I just could not stop smiling! I laugh a lot, feel crazy great and the feeling lasts for 2-4 hours after I stop eating.

Am I really getting high or is this euphoria a real side effect of eating raw fish?

I've done some Google searches and although I have found some other stories similar to mine, I have yet to find a reliable article about it.

Does anyone else experience this? None of my friends do, which I find odd.

Before the typical BUF answers to this come rolling in, I'll add I found quite a few things googling "euphoria sushi" from Sake used in preparation to blowfish to the types of vinegar used.

I have a Sushi bar on my route. The guy has been slinging fish for the 8 years I've been here so he would know. I'll ask him. My guess is it's something simple that is particular to you. Maybe a missing nutrient in your diet?

Apparently your sushi chef is trying to murder you with fugu, but you have a natural immunity, turning the deadly liver toxins into happy juice for your brain.

I've eaten a TON of sushi, and never gotten 'high' from the fish. I do tend to get really high before I go out to eat All-You-Can-Eat sushi though.... Yay munchies.

Maybe the Omega 3s have had good effect on your organism. You'd normally only get this by laying off beer for a long while so somehow there was a reset in terms of tolerance.
