Okay so honest question, you people can drink beer every day and not feel awful and like your brain is on fire, with weird neurological problems the next day? Like if I drink a few beers I’ll have a hard time picking up a glass of water the next day, I’ll be trembling and it feels like my ability to move properly is severely inhibited. I’ve tried gluten free beer with the same effects. My mood will be severely affected, and I’ll be more prone to outbursts and anger. Drinking liquor or ciders does not do the same thing, it seems exclusive to beer. Anyone know why this might be?

- ch4s3 6y agoThis could be a sensitivity or allergy to hop oils which will be present in quite high amounts in currently popular craft styles like NEIPAs. Old school macro lagers don’t have a lot of hops and use German hops which are lower in those oils.
- ginko 6y agoI think it's more due to the funky high-temperature fermentation of the top-fermenting ale yeasts used. This will create more fusel alcohols than a clean bottom fermentation.
- ch4s3 6y agoWell managed ale fermentation shouldn’t produce much fusel alcohol which is a byproduct of yeast stress. Some of the DDH 8% IPAs place make now and try to turn around too fast will have some detectable fusels. There are also clean (which means low water production) ale yeasts. As a minor nit all yeasts ferment in the whole column of liquid. Ale yeasts do often form a thick Krause though.
- wincy 6y agoI remember finding this out years ago by drinking Natural Light many years ago. I went to nurse my hangover the next day and could barely lift a glass of water.
- dragonwriter 6y agoCould be allergy/sensitivity to any of a wide variety of ingredients of beer. Yeasts, barley/sorghum and associated malts, and hops are things that could make this common across a wife variety of beers.
