I have certainly gotten worse hangovers as I get older. I am in the middle of a monstrous one, I feel poisoned

[northwind]

I had to stop drinking for about 6 months a couple of years ago, and I never really restarted heavily- it's great, I can get ****ed on a tenner but I don't get so hungover :cool:

Old age mate.Gets everyone in the end.
I used to consume a fair bit of drink in my teens and twenties,but drink very moderately now.Nothing to do with being a puritan,just not worth the hangovers.:D

I would think it's a sugar allergy: sugar is like a drug, worse than nicotine some say.

It's not a problem up North as we tend not to drink shandy......

my sister suddenly became dairy intolerant at the age of 26!! never had a problem with it before then she was really ill and her body kinda reset itself and she could no longer eat dairy! i brought her some chocolates to make her feel better!!!

I dont know if its anythin similar but a mate of mine cannot drink any kinda booze now, his GP said he's got something wrong with his stomach enzymes due to excessive alcohol in his earlier years....

Unfortunately my OH has had the same problem. A couple of years ago he started to get very severe and disproportionate 'hangovers'. Now if he has a small amount of alchohol (we are talking 1/4 glass of wine here!) half an hour later he gets a severe headache which leaves him utterly washed out. Doc has asked him to keep a headache diary and suspects migraine. Doc also said it is quite common of chaps of 'a certain age' to become alchohol intolerant (or to something in it).

He does not drink at all any more, sorry mate :(

Due to my convent upbringing I only snort the communion wine in a frugal manner these days. It got to the stage that I know drinking was not sufficiently enjoyable to accept the hangovers that followed.

My worst ever hangover.......and my last was at my sons christening,(way too many bottles of a ****ty white wine called Santa maria) he is now 17! Never again!:shock:

[metalmonkey]

Yeah maybe its my body's way of saying stop putting crap in me! I dought its a sugar problem as I drink coke ect and suffer no ill effect.

I will go to the doctors any way to see if they shed some light onto it, in case its a blood sugar problem, which I very much dought it is. Its not casue of age I'm 27 ain't old!

It might a case stop drinking hey ho, but I still have a fine bottle of mexican tequlia and a bottle of JD left.....ummm

[seedy100]

Yep - I've got the same problem.

Used to drink untill I fell over, with minimal after effects.

Then I got totaly ratarsed on still cider at a party.
I was :smt078 for days!

Eversince about a pint and my chheks star going numb! 2 pints and I am incoherent and can expect the mother of all hangovers the next day.

That was about 30 years ago!

The wife,god rest her soul, says its my body getting revenge for years of abuse. - sad thing is I think she's right.

Before this happened, did you drink alot on a regular basis then stop? If so, you would have gradually built up a tolereance level and been able to handle X amount of pints before the effects hit you. In other words - you might have drunk more as time went along to get the same inital effect

Your tolerenace level has probably dropped and thats why you cant handle as much beer. Plus your body changes as you get older

I diagnose a possible case of the ghey.

Spend more time in your local boozer, quaffing as much as you can get your hands on. That should remedy the situation. :)

well im guessing if you like drinking this isnt a good thing to loose your tolerenace to it, recently i have just become lactose intollerant which means i cant drink milk or eat anything that has lots in it certain things im alright with but something like a cup of tea might give me gut ache for hours on end. not good as i used to live on tea morning noon and night

You can buy lactose intolerance milk. My mum has the same problem as you and that milk still lets her drink her cuppa tea's :D.

Could just be a case of dehydration.

If your constantly dehydrated the just a pint or to can cause you to get really dehydrated and give you bad headaches, also if your dehydrated then you don't remove the toxins from your body quickly/effectively enough and this can give you similar problems.

Try to drink a couple of litres of water a day for a week or two, cut down on the tea/coffe cola etc and then give a couple of pints another try.

The upside of this is that come the the end of your mini-detox you get to drink in the name of science/medical research to see if you get the same results. The other half/significant other/friends/family can't complain cuz your testing a theory out!!

[phil24_7]

By the way, I am dehydrated alot due to random sleep/eating/drinking habits and what your describing is similar to what I get much of the time.

Just try to sleep and drink more as this helps the body immensely (never underestimate the power of a bit of water and a good nights sleep!).
