I have long suffered with a form of this that I came to know as cydersickness. I find that approaching the tenth pint or so of Scrumpy Jack I begine to enter an altered state known as cyderreality. After around half an hour or so in this virtual world the cydersickness ensues. I have also found it impossible to drive in this state and am typically completely comatose until the next morning. Oddly, there seems to be a bit of a bleed-over into other areas since, whenever I see the prefix "cyber" attached to anything, I begin to feel nauseous and want to vomit.
