Absolutely zero benefits to drinking at all. Stopped drinking in any appreciable amounts at 23 after I started getting 2 day hangovers. Dabbled with the devil's lettuce for over a decade before quitting cold turkey. Don't recommend either. Sobriety and being straight edged is uncool but FMl it does give you clarity of mind.

> after I started getting 2 day hangovers Holy $DEITY. How much do you need to drink to get a 2 day hangover at 23? I've been 23 and never managed. And I was drinking.

  I think severity of hangovers is more due to genes rather than amount of alcohol consumed. I stopped drinking mostly due to multi-day hangovers but people I know who drink MUCH more than I ever did experience mild or no hangovers. I get a mild hangover even if I only had a single beer. Caffeine doesn't effect me at all though.

    As someone who hasn't stopped drinking, it very much matters what you drink too. From the well known "sweet == hangover" to more subtle stuff like different brands of the same kind of drink having a slightly different composition that agrees more or less with your liver. Of course, if you get drunk every day, the above subtleties cease to matter. And even if you're a weekend warrior, you've got to take breaks or water your wine* or put more tonic water in your tonics if you want to do an all nighter. * Yeah, I know, blasphemy.

      >it very much matters what you drink too. This is why I think it's mostly genetic - it doesn't for me. Literally any and all alcohol gives me a hangover. Drinking water doesn't help me avoid them either. I've drank SO MUCH water to try to avoid hangovers, they always happen no matter.

        Drink water after getting wasted? Doubt that does much. At best it attenuates the hangover a bit. Watering down your drinks so you ingest less alcohol, like they did in antiquity... yes.

  Main hang over is the next day, the maialiase and off feeling last another day, I return to normal by the 3rd day. This is all because I was working out and doing HIIT. Literally poison to do that .
