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

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.

Also, on the days where you're drinking beer - have you eaten and drank water like you have on the days where you drink wine? Like are you drinking the wine with a big meal? Eating and drinking a lot is the best prevention for a hangover. I get weird ones all the time even like between different types of beer and I've narrowed it down to most likely be poor eating / drinking habits the day I drink. Having food in your belly is just as important as staying hydrated IMO.

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

[–] fanbois@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

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.

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

[–] Teapot@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Alcohol in general is a diuretic, nothing special about beer

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.

[–] BigHaas@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 1 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

1 drink and im sweating like a pig

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

[–] Maoo@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Maoo@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Maoo@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
