God I wish, I love wine but the hangovers I get from it are absolutely brutal. I can literally feel the water being sucked from my body when I sip a glass of wine.

This is why vodka with ice and water is the working person’s beverage, imo

Have you tried double fisting wine and cans of fizzy water?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yea it has never ended well for me historically

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I feel you.

Vodka is so expensive here :( like, 5-10x as much as wine per standard drink

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I'm the opposite beer for me is like water but wine even a single glass i will have a massive headache 10 minutes later. If i get drunk on wine I'm basically deceased the following day

you may have a sulfite sensitivity, might be worth looking up which wines are lower in sulfites

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

If you're drinking beers with a higher sugar content like a hefeweizen, it might make you feel worse than like a dry white wine. A sweet red wine makes me feel shitty the next day, between the sugar content and the tannins.

Idk, drink more water between your beers and try changing up what type of beer you drink. I love hefeweizens and the like, so I limit myself to one, maybe two of them a night.

Possibly there is something about the beer that you're reacting to. Like, beer has gluten in it. If you have a sensitivity to gluten you get an inflammatory reaction, and a hangover is a inflammatory response too, so it might just feel like a worse hangover instead of a more obvious gastrointestinal sensitivity.

Beer is interesting because it's got this other drug in it, hordenine, a stimulant

I like plain vodka and a full glass of water between each shot. Pretty much zero hangover.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This, except I alternate water with zero sugar electrolyte beverage (whichever was cheapest at the time I re-upped, most are basically the same).

I didn’t know about the stimulant in beer, that’s fascinating

Aside from a monstrous hangover I got from drinking a half a bottle of Thunderbird fortified wine, I have never gotten hungover

I don't even think it's genetic or anything because I have the tolerance of a person half my size

Two beers will get me tore up

When I was younger I thought being able to drink a lot was a good thing.

Turns out, consuming more of the poison that destroys your guts and liver to get into the desired state of mind is actually bad.

On the other hand, I'm usually the one getting drunk people home safely, so thats nice.

1 drink and im sweating like a pig

its always been this way i think its some kind of medical condition

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Alcohol is basically poison and there's a lot of variation among humans globally as to how well our bodies metabolize it.

Example: the "Asian flush" is real, a large minority of people of East Asian descent have a less effective variant of a protein involved in metabolizing alcohol so drinks make affected people feel warm, uncomfortable, even flushed pretty quickly.

You might have something like this as well.

my ancestors were white af. polish and hungarian. and hairy like a goddamn bear

its possible i have this gene but if its specific to asian people then idk how

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That particular allele is most common in SE Asia and South China but can be found in lower frequencies elsewhere. It also has impacts even when a person is heterozygous, i.e. just has one copy of the less effective protein gene.

But there are many ways to have variation in how a person metabolizes alcohol. You could even have your own fun new mutation!

im like the xmen with the ability to sweat after drinking beer and also deformities in my urinary tract that leave me prone to infection this is awesome

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hell yeah now all you need is a hero name!

Same, wine gives me the worst. Well, except that one time I tried southern comfort. Whiskey with a bunch of added sugar is a nightmare combo.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

AFAIK, Beer is a diuretic so it makes you pee more water than wine does.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Alcohol in general is a diuretic, nothing special about beer
