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, 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.

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

.

The accurate term is “drunk.”

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.

Not getting hungover is one reason I decided I need to deliberately dial down the booze! other night I had a 16 oz high alcohol beer, a large Negroni, and then a 6% alcohol dry cider … and felt nothing the next day. Oops.

Means nothing. That's not that much, assuming you are a man over 150lbs, if you are healthy.
Hangovers are a sign of over consumption and toxic buildup of acetates and is caused by consuming badly made alcoholic drinks, or having a body or genetics that doesn't handle the breakdown of the toxin well.
A healthy person won't have a hangover or negative effects from 5 drinks or less the next day, unless they drink junk, eat carbs with it, and don't hydrate, or have a faulty liver.

A sign you need to dial back drinking is weight gain, or if you get drunk on less than 3-5 drinks, then something is amiss and you are in the damaging stage of drinking.

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 am the same way. I suggested electrolytes and bread and butter upthread.
Butter lines your stomach and alcohol isn’t absorbed as much.
You won’t get as tipsy but you’ll hold up well through the night

Good tips, thank you. I need to plan better when I drink. It feels silly but I hate feeling out of it for a day afterwards when I drink

That was an old wives tale about the butter, or a troll. Stomach acid doesn't care. Alcohol is being absorbed by the body as soon as it hits your lips, and the majority is absorbed by the small intestines.

Eating food with alcohol = weight gain and fast. The body cannot metabolize food when you drink, so it's all stored as fat until the alcohol is digested and broken down completely.

Is why Sumo Wrestlers and other large athletes and bodybuilders even will drink several pints of beer a day in the offseason when dirty bulking.

Yup, only sick people get hangovers from 5 of fewer drinks.

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.

You’re right, they weren’t light. I just checked and 5% ABV. That’s regular, isn’t it?

I drank them over the course of 3.5 hours but I wasn’t eating and I didn’t drink water.

But the advice I was hoping for was more specific because ‘rules’ are easier to take in and follow rather than just ‘eat less, drink more’… ykwim?

Op, this is were you went wrong. You never drink for 3.5 hours without eating or drinking water. By the time you ate, the alcohol was already in your blood, and while the glass or two of water you drank may have decreased your dehydration a bit, they did little to offset.

If you want to not feel bad, you need to eat while drinking. So have a glass of beer, have some heavy appetizer (preferably fat/ protein), and a glass of water. You’ll end up consuming less beer this way, but also it will be with food and water in your stomach and won’t dehydrate you so much.

Seriously, what’s the point of you eating after 3.5 hours of drinking on an empty stomach?

Sweetheart, I'm also a competitive athlete and workout daily. Today was my rest day: a 5 mile walk, house clean, and some yard work.

If you need 5+ drinks to experience an effect, you're body's trying to tell you something. And it's not good news.

Sigh, yes, I’m aware. But that’s what happened so it is what it is. I was at someone’s place and they were not serving food. So I’m asking advice for what I should/could do both afterwards, and also what tips people follow before.

You don’t need to get so excited. Either share specific tips you have, or move on.

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. [b]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. [/b]

This is pseudo science
