I’ve long had this issue, seemingly with red wine, and hoppy beers. An IPA headache is no joke. I also have a crazy sweettooth..candy, ice cream, cookies, etc. Ate way too much. On a whim several months ago I cut sweets from my diet entirely. I swear my headaches have completely left. Like somehow it was the sugar crashes that amplified some reaction to these alcohols (that have no sugars). Who knows. But my head is better now without all the added sugars.
- OldGuyInTheClub 3y agoSugar doesn't affect me in that way although I need to be careful for other reasons. Alcohol is such a social lubricant in so many societies that the inability to consume even small amounts affects one's personal and professional life.
- taf2 3y agoI had the same issue I take a new migraine medicine and side effect no hangovers anymore either. Two new drugs came out in 2018 basically allergy medicine. Tells the immune system don’t worry about certain chemicals in the brain and all is good. I get one extra day a week and bonus drinking no hangover
- jayunit 3y agoI'm curious - what's the medication? Someone I know gets pretty regular migraines. She takes sumatriptan when they occur, and also has cut alcohol due to being a potential cause.
