Then, in your forties you drink a single beer, feel nothing, and have the mother of all hangovers. I've more-or-less given up drinking at this point.
yall really dont drink water huh?
30 here drink does nothing to me but i drink a glass of water eve3night before bed lmao
drank a margarita last night woke up at 5 am
see a doctor
Get back to me when you're creeping up on fifty.
Truthfully, I have mixed results when it comes to drinking these days. Sometimes, it's fine. I drink a few beer, get a nice buzz and wake up totally fine. It's really only once or twice I had the situation I mentioned above where I hardly drank anything and woke up hungover anyway. In those cases, I didn't chug a bunch of water because I assumed since I wasn't feeling the effects at all, I'd be fine. If I am buzzed or verging on drunk, then I will chug a liter or something. Though for me, it's 50/50 on whether that prevents a hangover. I don't like those odds. It just seems more and more like the short buzz and euphoria it brings more and more often isn't worth the chance of ruining the next day. Especially given how much shittier your system gets at handling this stuff as you get older.
I am not out of shape either.
Everybody is different - you haven't figured out the one simple trick to avoid hangovers. Drinking lots of water is like, the most common thing to do and 99% of people still get bad hangovers
As I've gotten older I realized that, even though I like the occasional drink, it's just not worth it to me any more. I find myself drinking less and less. Almost never at this point.
I've also noticed my friends and family are a lot more fun to hang out with when they are not drinking than when they are. People get so loud and obnoxious when they drink. They think they are fun and funny but they're really just annoying.
