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.
Hydration is definitely key. I used to think light beer was well engineered because I rarely got sick off it, but it really just has the water built in…
If I start hydrating early during the day, keep to clear liquor, limit my intake, stop in the early evening, and take some electrolytes at bedtime, I can usually mitigate 90% of the hangover. I will still have terrible sleep.
But, why am I doing all this? It’s just easier to stay sober these days.
