Right about 25 was when my hangovers went from annoying to debilitating. 2-3 drinks is my max if I want to avoid pain the next day, or possibly next 2-3 days.

Next time I drink a beer, I'm going to come to the OT and broadcast it.

I quit drinking around 20 years old. Hangovers suck!!! I'd been drinking since I was 13, Daddy had a keg of beer on tap in the house at all times. Yeah, I had an odd childhood. Yeah, yeah, it sounds trashy as hell but it sure was fun.

I've been thru all that. Got my gallbladder taken out. So that may play a part in it as well. Idk


I'm 32 and had my gallbladder out two years ago. I have the shits all the time, but I can still drink like a champ.

My only problem now is I have to stop at three alcohols. Four different ones now and I will get hungover. But that's really it. Bottle of wine, bottle of El Hopadillo Negro IPA and a nasty arse bud light last night and I feel fine.

You just need to man up and power through. I don't know what else to say.

I only had 2 liquor drinks, 4 beers and 2 glasses of wine and woke up with my stomach churning. Try to hold off the throw up but it came up just now.



You may have a medical problem drinking that little and getting those effects...........

this is why I support lowering the drinking age to 18. You can drink so much between 18-21 it don't even matter what, Taaka, Old Granddad it's all easy to drink. As I got into my later 20's I needed better quality and more expensive drinks. Now only certain drinks don't give me headaches.

Even more than the hangovers, I started getting crushing depression the next day. I love that buzz when I'm drinking, but it's not worth the tailspin anymore.

i've been a pretty regular whiskey drinker since I was in my late 20's and I'm 36 now. I didn't have my first drink til 21. From 21 to late 20's I gradually got worse to a point I was drinking a pint of 90 proof whiskey 5 nights a week and chasing with a couple beers before bed. Then I'd go out on Saturday night and drink beer. I got used to it where it didn't start effecting me until 2 or 3 years ago but I'm gradually waking up sicker now when I do drink, usually throwing up a couple times in the morning if i didn't before I passed out the night before. I used to rarely throw up from 21-early 30's

Like BAM dead. I checked out of the hospital and went and got drunk..

Recovery wasn't an issue, I'd just start drinking when I woke up.

Used to be the weekend party method. Drink til you're about horizontal, then snort a little crank or coke and you're good for another few hours. After parties in bars and clubs would sometimes provide the stuff.
