Since the answers to all ills lie within, here goes...
I woke up this morning with a hangover. Been almost completely useless except for dragging myself through getting the kids dressed and taken to school before it fully hit me. It's 1PM and I'm just now able to sit in front of a computer screen, but still feeling it. Last night I had one 12oz beer with dinner (6%) and then had one little 12oz premade moscow mule cocktail can (5%) later in the evening.
Now, this isn't exactly new for me. I've always had what you might call a weak stomach when it comes to alcohol. I'm a decently big guy -- 6'2", 190lb -- but it's not entirely uncommon for me to be hungover if I have more than four or five drinks. I'm too old to be hungover now, so I've learned to regulate pretty well in most situations. But only two drinks -- that's a new low.
I've tried throughout the years to pay attention to what makes me sick and what doesn't. Both of these drinks were things I've had many times. I don't know if it was the combination or the order that caused the issues (beer before liquor...), but it's really not uncommon for me to mix. I drink beer, liquor, and wine pretty regularly. Many times I've had beer/wine, beer/liquor, or even all three over the course of a night and been fine.
What the heck is going on?
