Probably because hangover severity increases exponentially as you age. A 16 year old can knock back 20 shots in a night and basically die, but wake up with no hangover.
A 40 year old can drink 3 beers and spend 2 days recovering.
Extreme examples yes, but the younger you are the less you have to worry about hangovers and how to prevent / manage them.
My father is 86, and he says he never had a hangover, and still doesn’t get them.
I sometimes get hangover often within an hour of drinking just 1 or 2 beers or a single glass of wine. I did that too when I was in my 20’s, but back then it was mostly wine that did it.
Would that not be more a function of the volume rather than drink-value in that scenario? Isn’t beer like way harder on your body not because of the alcohol per se but the actual heaviness and richness of it calorically as opposed to vodka combined with the fact that alcohol necessarily interferes with the metabolism and digestion of lesser toxins like actual food?
Not sure how cogent this is and I’m deferring to you but simply exercising my curiosity and trying to put my ignorance to the test aha
My thougtz exactly! I don’t drink any such distilled/mineral-free water so that must be the secret to my non-madness
What’s your age bracket if you don’t mind me asking?
I don’t mind but I’m actually a little more interested i why thats interesting to you and what your best guess would be to that end ;) 🍿

I’m 100% the opposite. 52 and can drink 15 light beers in the afternoon and evening. Daily. And still don’t really get drunk.
OTOH, when I was younger, I was pounding those beers. And without enough food or water.
