As an also-over-35, I don't think it's just the alcohol. (Feel free to slap me down with science.) A beer hangover is now more severe than an equivalent-amount-of-alcohol hangover from say, vodka.
- mstade 10y agoSomeone told me that it's because you consume too much fluids when drinking beer, causing mineral and vitamin imbalances or some such. (I ain't no scientalist!) This makes sense if true, since to reach the same level of alcohol in your blood you simply have to drink more beer than say vodka, which is obviously much stronger.
- dec0dedab0de 10y agoSome more anecdotal evidence. I've noticed that the style/quality of the beer greatly affects if there will be a hangover or not regardless of alcohol content. Has anyone else noticed that? or know why?
- dagw 10y agoAnecdotally I concur. As I've gotten older beer hangovers have gotten much worse relative to other hangovers.
