  Probably right. I've been trying to drink it less frequently and less of it. Not sure why I even wanted to have that much last night. I was thinking to myself before I opened #8 "uh, ... I'm not sure if I even want this" but I ended up drinking it anyways. I usually keep a pretty hard limit of no more then a 6 pack and no high ABV stuff.
  
  There's a weird issue I'm having though. I'm 100% sure if I don't drink any beer I'm not consuming enough calories to maintain my weight. That's fine since I'm actually losing some weight. But after 3-4 days I just start to feel tired and I end up having some beer. I'm being honest here, it's mostly because I just want the day to end because I don't feel that great. Usually I wake up feeling better but not today
  
  Thanks

Rawr, I think you just need an Imodium chaser.

I'm thinking you have an allergy.

It sucks if you really enjoy drinking beer.

If I were you I'd try changing up what I was drinking, and if hard liquor give you the same result then see a doctor.

I'm also pretty sure you're right about that. Hard liquor doesn't do that but lets just say that me and hard liquor are not friends. Certain beers never cause a problem, like miller lite, never had an issue, I can drink a 12 pack and I'm always fine the next day (well that amount would cause a hang over.)

After some digging around some people seem to have issues with different beers, I feel like I'm not alone. It could be the yeast or the hops. A good test here would be to find a really hoppy IPA and drink a six pack but I don't really know if I want to be the guinea pig for that experiment. I don't really like IPAs to begin with.

Thanks

Have you tried every hard liquor?

For example, I have totally different effects between Gin, Tequila, and Vodka.

Vodka I can manage quite well.

Gin gets me kooky.

Tequila gets me a different kooky.

Whiskey? Can do a whiskey sour like once a year - if that...

Thanks

I have no issues with anything except Tequila. I've even had absinthe, no problem. Only issue with Tequila is that it seems like it makes me go a little nuts, I don't care what anybody says. There's something different about it, the effect is not the same.

Edit: A potential explanation is congeners, I'm not able to find a chart or anything about their levels. It could also be the salt/lime routine. There's definitely something different though.

Thanks

I've put all that drinking lark behind me. I think I had one beer last year and that was when I went to my old works do at Christmas. This year so far I've had 2 beers, and that's only because my brother bought me a case of various English ales so I've got them sitting there waiting to be drunk.

Hangovers seem to be getting progressively worse with age. The last hangover I had which must be getting on for 3 years ago, I had a headache but felt really strange, can't explain it but I spent the day in bed all shakey, not cold just shakey and feeling weird like it had affected my mind or something. That was it for me.

I don't envy anybody with a hangover. The people I do envy are those that don't get one.

Thanks

Tequila is in it's own category. It is the only liquor that is not classified as a depressant.

How about wine? Wine can be a good wind down.

After much tequilla a long time ago, I had a two day severe hangover. Even on the third day I did not feel right. On day four I decided to venture onto Facebook only to find pictures of me doing things I have zero recollection of doing. Nothing I really regret, anything super crazy, or anything I was embarrassed about, but I don't remember any of it.

When I met up with those friends that weekend, that's when they showed me the embarrassing ones. Thankfully, the person who took them decided not to post the bad ones. I wasn't the only one and I did find some interesting stuff on my phone as well.

Thanks

That's not kooky, that's called, "securing the second date."

I avoid Tequila myself. Two shots and I'll fight a parked car. I've read that liquor is supposedly liquor and the different types shouldn't affect one differently, but Tequila is the only hooch that makes me want to punch shit.

I'm glad we got 3 on this.

Supposedly it's all the same but it just can't be. There's gotta be some unknown chemical in tequila that interacts with the alcohol but maybe does nothing without it.

Side Note: Felt better after dinner, got about 3 of hours of real work in.

Thanks

  Didn't work. He took two gulps and I never saw him again. There was a local report of a guy trying to "surf" down a street with two vacuum cleaners strapped to his legs (with a dust pan as a helmet) but didn't pay too much attention to it because its been reported before.
  
  In retrospect maybe I should have since the guy was said to have crashed into a donut shop while screaming "YES!! there is a Gaaaaaawd"

Good lord Dan, I would hate to see what 3 shots would do to you ... we might have to put an APB out for Claude

You don't park a Whitacre so much as get entangled in its orbit.

Eh, acetaminophen is really bad for your liver, I don't take that stuff. About to go to bed in a little bit. I was 99% after dinner. Had fish and chips with a salad.
