Best beer or alcohol for drinking all day?

DH loves Garage Beer for this.

I was at a BBQ yesterday and dh and I drank Michelob ultra light through out the day. I’d normally drink white wine or a craft beer or cider, but ended up having Michelob instead and it was refreshing, light and didn’t give me a headache like a lot of alcohol does after a few hours.

At the end of the night I switched and had one craft IPA and soon after had a headache.

Is there something to light, cheaper beer?

You’re a woman? Drank beer all day? You were certainly dehydrated and overexposed to the sun, so a headache was lurking anyways. Even so, switching to a bitter stronger higher ABV craft beer was a mistake and probably triggered it. Stick with the same watery low ABV Michelob Lights when you need endurance. And obviously try to remember to chug a bottled water here and there.

Light beer is 95% water, if they were drinking Much Ultras all day they were extremely hydrated. Alcohol is a mild diuretic but certainly not strong enough to be a net loss of water when the drink it's being delivered in is 95% water.

Drinking even 3-5% alcohol beer all day in the sun is a recipe for both dehydration and a hangover. You are not “extremely” hydrated drinking Michelob Ultra. Not only is alcohol a diuretic but the way your body metabolizes and processes beer creates electrolyte imbalances. Your body also reacts to alcohol as a toxin, which causes other problems. All of this means your cells don’t absorb as much water and you get dehydrated.

Kombucha mixed with a bit of water.

We started mixing that Smirnoff red, white and berry stuff with blue gatorades from the kids’ cooler and it was amazing. I’d like to think it’s the perfect ‘cocktail’ for drinking all day on a boat.

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.

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.

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.

No, you’re missing the point. The ABV does matter “gram for gram”. 1 gram of 10% alcohol will be worse than 1 gram of 5% alcohol - 1 12oz beer of 10% will be worse for hangovers the. 1 5% beer. It is indeed not a difficult concept to grasp but you’re not grasping it.

Once again, you missed the point. I won't bother trying to explain the error you made, just highlight it for you, at this point, as you obviously think you are smart. Apples and oranges comparing two different things.

DP Still dehydrates you.

Which is why I mentioned in an early post that you must drink a glass of water between each alcoholic drink, at a minimum.

No errors made. You just flunked high school science classes.
