It's not the percentage at all, has nothing to do with it. It's the quality of the alcohol that affects the hangover and headaches. More methanol, isopropyl, acetones, aldehydes, etc. in lower quality brewing/distillation causes more negative effects. Quality stuff has far fewer amounts of those. |
Just remember the old saying OP…you can’t drink all day unless you start first thing in the morning ☝️ |
Eh. Not entirely. Methanol and acetones certainly contribute but the amount of alcohol, and how it is metabolized, is the #1 factor by a long shot. |
The headache causing ingredient is called alcohol. |
So you drank goat piss? |
You can’t drink all day if you don’t start in the morning. |
Vodka. |
I'd add Blue Moon to this list |
I used to think this too - that Coors Light was the perfect beach beer. But now it’s Michelob Ultra. Fewer calories, fewer carbs, goes down like water. Michelob Ultra is super trendy at golf courses and country clubs. |
Sort of dovetailing, I was surprised to see a lot of my kids’ friends (UMC, early 20s) drinking cans of Finnish Long Drink, which is basically gin and Fresca (grapefruit soda). It has a very distinct and pretty bright blue can. It’s pretty good. |
Radlers! |
Oooh, that sounds good!! My 20-something nieces and their friends are more likely to drink hard seltzer than beer, which is hard for my old self to get used to. The guys do more beer. |
In Germany and Austria Schörle - basically wine with sparkling water / like a wine spritzer - are everywhere. You can also do Radlers, which is beer with lemonade or other citrus juice, which are also really refreshing.

You are missing the point. Gram per gram, the ABV doesn't matter. You adjust intake by drinking fewer or more slowly if the ABV is higher. It's not a difficult concept to grasp. |
Beer, any beer, has very few carbs to begin with. A six pack is still less than like drinking a 12 oz soda pop. |
