Sign in to disble this ad
As someone who enjoys many a beer in his line of work, I've begun to notice a trend. When I drink "light" beer, I feel twice as bad the next day. Sometimes, I'll start to develop a hangover WHILE I'm drinking light beer, if I don't drink enough of it.
Case in point. Wednesday night, I drank Coors Light. An average night at the bar, I probably consumed 10 beers over the course of 5 hours. My stomach felt like it was going to disintegrate for the next 2 days. Saturday night, I drank 2 pitchers of Summer Shandy, a pint of Bass, and a shot of Jack Daniels, and I woke up with only a mild headache.
I always drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids during/after consuming alcohol, and try to keep things 'moderate'.
So what is it about "light" beer that makes me so queasy the next day? |

I also down a whole bottle of Jack Daniels chased with a 2 liter of Coke and woke up the next day feeling great. I really don't understand it either.

Trust me, I'm Russian.

| | America's Favorite Hot Dog! | | Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: CHI/NWI | | | Ok. Let's clarify a few things here. First, I don't always 'drink to get drunk'. I'm a social drinker, and I'm usually stuck in a bar for 6 hours at a time, because I'm a gigging musician. Second, I could get a ripping nasty hangover from 3 light beers, or be fine after a 12 pack of fine Boston Lager. It's not about the quantity consumed. As for the digs at Coors Light, ALL light beer sucks, I dont care which commercial you think is cooler, or where your brand loyalties lie. Lastly, I know that hangovers are mostly caused by dehydration, but there are other factors that figure in to the severity and symptoms. Wine gives me headaches, light beer messes my stomach up. |

Cease drinking cold, bubbly horse pee and calling it beer. Drink actual beer. Fewer and weaker hangovers.
Problem solved.
