Why don't I have a hangover?

[Max_marcona]

I'm 18 and I've drank only 3 times in my life. I got drunk for the first time 2 nights ago, very drunk. I threw up on myself, my friend, my bedroom floor and closet, in the sink, and everywhere. I can't remember a lot of what happened. I have bruises and cuts all up my arms, legs and feet. Not to mention a big bump on my head from hitting it on the counter. I did drink water only to throw up after each glass. My ribs are in immense pain even now, I expected it to be gone by today. It's not my liver or stomach, but my ribs hurt when I breathe in. After all this I still have no hangover. I know what a hangover feels like because I had one before when I wasn't even drunk. I have very little experience with alcohol so I can't be accustomed to it or whatever. So why don't I have a hangover?

It may be because you threw up so much. Also depends on how much alcohol your body actually absorbed. Either way, you should learn to pace yourself. If you get really drunk on liquor, make weaker drinks or have water in between the drinks. If you drink beer or wine, try for a drink every 40 minutes or longer. Until you know how your body processes alcohol. Helps to have a snack as well towards the end of the night.

I mixed it with ice carbonated drinks, it tasted pretty good! I drank 3 quarters of a 750 ml with 36% in 30 minutes lmao, I really didn't know my limits. Thanks for your reply!

Some people don't really get them. I've only had few. I think big part of it is staying hydrated. I know older people will tell me that if they don't have a glass of water after every 2 beers, they get headaches in the morning.

So I guess when your younger it's the same thing just not as bad. Some people are just more likely to get hungover than others.

This makes a lot of sense! I can't remember much but my friends said ai kept drinking a lot of water and throwing up.

You probably just weren't drunk enough. (from experience) Only time I had hangover was when drank half a litre of 56% brandy.

I got two of those 750 ml burnett vodkas and shared them with friends. I drank like 3 quarters of one at least. Im pretty small, im only 4'11". I have drank way less and got a hangover. I know I was drunk because my entire floor was covered in my vomit and I didn't even remember throwing up.

You’re very lucky but don’t do it again because you will soon
