i rarely get hangovers, and i have people around me who drink less and get satans headache the following day.
i have read lots about the causes of a hangover which comes down to basically dehydration , and other variables like genetics and the amount of enzymes a person has that breaks down alcohol to acetate, meaning the more of this stuff the less negative effects the following morning.
the thing is, i used to get them bad when i was young funny enough, and you would think youth and a more efficient metabolism that this wouldn't be the case.
its only in the last 6 years when i quit smoking and started to get fitter i have noticed a decrease , in fact a complete removal of any hangover symptoms, i do feel lethargic though , and this is due to my quality of sleep being effected under the influence which means i don't feel as alert the next day, other than that i can get up and go about my business with not a headache in sight.
i don't drink every day but the nights i do i typically drink 2 bottles of red wine and 2 beers, i say this to give you an indication , not as a bravado thing. its just the amount i can drink which gets me to a certain level of intoxication that im used to.
my cousin on the other hand can drink the same amount and be taken out for 2 days suffering the ill effects.
i suggested to him when he was down to drink lots of water to prevent hangover, e did and still he got it .
so, why don't i get a hangover?
