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

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.

This is why I like weed. All the fun of the buildup, with no dropoff.

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.

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.

When you're on antidepressants that dark place is filled with brain spiders.

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.

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.

My superpower is not having hangovers 🗿 🗿 (for now)

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.

Hmm, I did some pretty heavy drinking in my 30s but rarely had hangovers. I have no data for my 40s because I just haven't had much desire to drink, or to drink that much when I do drink.
