[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be Irish? It would take like 3x that much alcohol to give me a hangover. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]
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. 
[b]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. [/b]

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

Tell us you're an alcoholic without telling us you're an alcoholic. [/quote]

Former astronaut too, amirite?[/quote]

DP but the doctor is right…but they are speaking medically.  3-5 drinks medically is a lot smaller than most people’s “I had 2 drinks” when a drink is 5 oz of wine or 8 oz of regular beer, medically.  Practically, most people drink much more than that per “drink.”  They are also correct that in end stage alcoholism your liver can’t process alcohol so people get excessively drunk off small amounts of alcohol.  If that is happening, though, you’re probably going to die soon.  OP just sounds like she’s small and has a low tolerance in general.[/quote]
