For you "older" members, how bad are your hangovers?

That is exactly my modus operandi.

Gotta find Kulshan for $10 or less for a sixer, get a couple 3 different ones and savor for a few weeks.

 

I drink maybe three times a year. I've never been a huge drinker and never had a problem with a hangover. I think it's silly that my coworkers talk about getting drunk and hungover like it's a badge of honor. The one guy never has any sick or vacation hours because we suspect he's at home nursing the bottle flu.

Maybe I was born an old wise man, but I also prefer to drink alone

 

I haven’t been drunk in 20 years. I do like a beer or glass of wine with dinner. BTW I’m 51.

 

can't drink anymore since i got Lyme. i will have a week long hangover if i do.

 

It's the sugary drinks. The way your body metabolizes alcohol into simple sugars is already a chore, throw in sugary mixers and it's too much.

But also hydrate before (and after), it helps

 

Really? Sorry bout that, honestly

 

Try a lower %age alcohol content.

Drink 1 beer, followed by same volume of water. No more than 1 beer/hour. Start early, finish drinking before 10 pm. Give your body time to process the alcohol.

 

I'm 55 and I simply avoid drinking enough to give myself a hangover. I remember those days and how rough they were, I'm not interested in going back. 2, maybe three beers at any one time is my limit.
These days I live by, moderation, moderation, moderation. Don't over eat, don't over drink the foods and liquids that are rough on my body.

 

Sobriety has great value, well beyond being hangover free. Think of it as a gift to cherish.
