When I hit my 30s it's like my body just stopped being and to digest alcohol correctly. I wouldn't even call it a hangover. Just a lingering uncomfortable feeling my stomach and a more than usual number of trips to the bathroom for 24 hours after. Even if I only have a few beers.
I've all but given up drinking at this point.
A friend of mine got that too. Even a glass of wine started to make him very sick. He had to give up drinking altogether.
I'm just intrigued by the level of the wine in the last panels. I guess it implies that she's accelerating down the hill faster than free fall? Which I guess fits.
Then, in your forties you drink a single beer, feel nothing, and have the mother of all hangovers. I've more-or-less given up drinking at this point.
yall really dont drink water huh?
30 here drink does nothing to me but i drink a glass of water eve3night before bed lmao
drank a margarita last night woke up at 5 am
see a doctor
Drinking in my 30s really meant that I won't get much of a buzz, but will feel bloated and get a headache later. Also, unless I do all my drinking early in the day, I won't get a good night's sleep because my heart will be racing.
So...only have 2-3 drinks max for the day and do it before the sun sets so I have the evening to process it. Or don't bother at all since the benefits don't really outweigh the cost. Staying hydrated throughout is important but doesn't really fix any of the aforementioned issues.
Worst hangover I ever had, I was 20 and spent an entire May day working with my brother scraping and painting a small shed, and replacing the shingles. Took us about ten hours give or take. We had an occasional beer but nothing crazy.
Once done we each polished off about ten Labatt 50s while we watched hockey, then went out to meet friends. Got home at about 2 am.
Woke up the next day like someone had driven a spike through my head and was drumming the ends that stuck out with steel rods.
I was screwed for about 36 hours. Realized as I was recovering that I hadn't had a drop of water all that day, just stopped working to sip on a cold beer every once in a while.
Lesson fucking learned. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
I don't get hangovers anymore. You'd have to sober up to get a hangover. An if I'd sober up, the depression wold be a far greater concern.
Yeah I didn't really understand hangovers until I slowed my drinking down to reasonable levels, and then to barely at all. Now it's not so much a hangover, but I notice I'm not really 100% percent for a couple of days after some drinks.
This is why I like weed. All the fun of the buildup, with no dropoff.
Weed mostly just gives me anxiety since I hit 30. I used to be a daily smoker in my teens and twenties.
I hope this is common because I haven't had that type of high since legalization hit and I miss it.
I used to be able to drink a lot, but I stopped over covid and now I'm pretty green after, like, one glass of wine. Cider is instant vomit mode. Pathetic. Now it's just Coronas and sadness.
Sounds familiar. I wonder what it is about cider and malt beverages that suddenly don't settle?
When you're on antidepressants that dark place is filled with brain spiders.
Been there, done that. Never again.
My superpower is not having hangovers 🗿 🗿 (for now)
39 and still don't understand why people complain. Just hydrate, poop, eat, poop again, go back to normal.
Have a Gatorade before and after you drink.
There ya go, fellow 30-something party people, saved ya a hangover, just hope with that no one suggests a venue change to the club at 11:30
If I'm out of the house past 10, something has already gone terribly wrong.
Some young dude caught me yawning at a Rammstein concert this summer. I told him I couldn’t help it because it was past 9.
Gatorade for the win. My life changed when I discovered the healing power of gatorade.
Sugar and alcohol just make everything harder for your liver. Just eat well before, and drink plenty of water before, between, and after alcohol. Drink a bit less alcohol when going out. Get to bed at a semi reasonable time. Skip the sugar water.
Absolutely not gonna help lol
I've learned that people who talk about these remedies or say they don't get hangovers drink a lot less than I do
Most of the hangover is just dehydration, so the Gatorade really does help a lot. Pedialyte or a different sports drink would do similarly, but also getting in shape, sleeping right, drinking plenty of water on the days you're not drinking helps mitigate the issues with a little indulgence just fine.
But, everyone is different so your milage may vary.
I have always been prone to having horrible hangovers, even in my twenties. Dihydromyricetin has saved my almost forty year old ass from the worst of them by now.
What’s that?

It is used to lessen withdrawal symptoms when treating alcoholics in some parts of the world.
Taken half an hour before starting and at the end of the evening strongly reduces the worst hangover effects.
No miracle cure, but it lessens the most severe hangover symptoms.
