Pretty much. I was OP a few years back but ultimately mostly stopped drinking. I will now have ONE drink sometimes socially, for fun, but only with food and plenty of water and I will often take headache medication proactively before bed.

I found my alcohol tolerance went south fast in my 40s, post-kids, even though my overall health improved (eating great, more consistent exercise, just better lifestyle overall with better sleep and gut health). My doctor thinks there is a link between peri-menopause/menopause and alcohol tolerance, and says she's seen a lot of women with my same issue (migraines or tension headaches triggered by mild to moderate alcohol intake) and there doesn't appear to be a silver bullet.

There is, OP just doesn’t like it.

Yesterday I had 2.5 light beers, with a light dinner afterwards and I had tons of water and 2 advil before bed, and even still, today is a semi wasted day for me. I ran some errands this morning, but then needed a long nap. No headache but I feel out of it.

To those who drink, what do you do to prevent this?

And again, abstinence is not an acceptable answer. Move on

Are you over 70 and less than 100lbs? Do you have liver problems or kidney issues?
Or were those 2 drinks pitcher sized? I really don't see how that is possible to be hungover from not even being legally intoxicated, much less to the point of drunkenness.

That amount of alcohol would absolutely have the same effect on me at the age of 49. 29, not so much.

That's a sign your organs are not that well.

No, not really. Hangovers aren't caused by alcohol staying in your system longer.

More likely, if you can drink significantly more than this without a hangover, you're probably an alcoholic.

Op.
I think this is true. My friends who are regular drinkers don’t get hangovers unless they really overdo it.

I rarely drink. Those 2.5 beers and a single small margarita at another event are all the alcohol I’ve had in the last two months. I like drinking though, it’s fun and feels festive to me for special occasions, and I’d like to find a way to tolerate it better when I do drink.

I’m sorry you’re an alcoholic or have been affected by alcoholics

So you had 3 beers (2.5 to be exact), then ate something light and drank water and the next day, felt like you drank alcohol the night before and are surprised cause you thought that today, you’d feel like you had no alcohol.

You need to drink less, eat / have water while your drinking, and still expect to feel some effect next day.

Who says I was surprised? No. But in the moment, I decided I wanted to drink and that was that.

Be Irish? It would take like 3x that much alcohol to give me a hangover.

No, it isn’t. I’m op. Healthy. I weigh 120 and 2.5 beers absolutely makes me feel tipsy

There it is.

I weigh 155 and 2.5 light beers definitely makes me tipsy. No hangover though.

I know, right? I have Irish friends and they can drink so much more than I can. One of my other friends, Eastern European ashkanazi, is similar. Rarely a hangover, and can mix wine with hard liquor and back again. I’m not Asian fwiw so I can’t figure out why it hits me so hard.

Electrolytes the next day. Bread and butter before going out.

Are you sure they were light beers?

I think the answer is to just take it more slowly and eat a lot more. Before and during.

I'd say if 3 drinks have little to no effect on you, then that's a sign your organs are not doing well. Your alcohol tolerance is high because you drink much too much.

Half a beer will make me tipsy, because I don't drink often.

That's enough for me to get a hangover (but not intoxicated). I almost never drink, though.

Something's not quite right there. Could be genetic. Certain ethnic backgrounds have genetics that make it hard to break down ethanol, so that could be it.

I'd suggest hydrating before drinking, and also after. Milk is also an old and highly effective preventative and especially hangover cure, as it has all the proper electrolytes, unlike all the unhealthy sports drinks which are loaded in salt and potassium only.

Other than that, drink QUALITY drinks, not those cheap adjunct rice and corn brewed nasty American Pilsner style lagers, as they are garbage. Any beer marketed as "light" will be one of those. Junk.

Milk? Really? Do you drink it before you drink? You can, but more effective aftwards for hydration and proper nutrition.

Beers. What do you recommend? Natural unpasteurized and unfiltered Ales, either light or dark as you prefer, or higher quality lagers if you prefer their taste.

When I drink IPA, I’ve noticed I feel tipsy faster and also get a headache soon after. IPA's have tons of hops, which help preserve the beer, hence the term India Pale Ale, and yeah hoppy beers tend to be highber ABV as well, but the hops themselves, while flavorful and wonderful, contribute to toxins as they are toxins themselves, so picking an IPA or other highly hopped ale as a sessions beer and drinking a dozen pints of them would be more intoxicating and worse hangover than drinking say a dozen less hopped beers.
It's not just IPAs that are highly hopped either. Some stouts such as imperial stouts have quite a few hops in the brew, but balanced out with darker roasted barley and more malt.

I randomly had Michelob ultra light at a bbq recently and I felt much better. That's a garbage beer. If it were a food, it would be a gas station hot dog equivilant. Fine for occasional consumption, but having a bunch of those would wreck you the next day due to larger amounts of toxins and poor quality ingredients. Same as eating a bunch of salted deli meat, makes you feel bad compared to a quality steak and vegetables.

Keep coping. Continue your propaganda and trying to ban alcohol and pork and whatever. It won't work. America is increasingly Hispanic.

Tipsy is subjective and silly term. A cup of coffee can make someone tipsy feeling. Similar effects on the brain.
