20 beers. No hangover?

[Denny]

Another reason for lack of a hangover may simple be that the yeast is replacing the vitamins that the beer depletes from your body, i NEVER get a hang over from home brew, no matter how much i drink, and i do not drink very often, maybe twice a month.

If you don't get a hangover from homebrew, you didn't drink enough. I can personally tell you that it's all too possible.

For me (and I would imagine most) my tolerance is dictated by the previous 24 hours... What I've eaten (starches are always good) and how much water I've consumed. If I haven't eaten a lot lately I might be calling it quits for the night after 6-10 beers, but if I've been good, then I could probably polish off a case if I ever kept count.

However, once I have 2-3+ beers, when I get home for the night I'll take a vitamin C and a B complex pill, chase it with a double shot of pickle juice and put down a quart of water. As bizarre as it sounds it works. Mostly it works because of many point listed above. The water targets dehydration, but so does the pickle juice. It's been determined that pickle juice has about 15 times more good electrolytes than Gatorade which has double of poweraid.

The vitamin C helps to target some of the deficiencies that the beer creates, and the B complex helps to boost your metabolism to process said alcohol.

I may not sleep real great that night (mostly due to the B Complex), however; I can say that I almost never have a hangover by morning and the few mornings that I do I really deserved them... Generally those nights included substantial amounts of liquor (read shots) on top of a whole lot of beer.

On my last trip back to Vermont, I had a day of drinking in which I managed to down 18 bottles of microbrews (no homebrews as my homebrew base was too far away).

The next morning I felt....

Absolutely terrible. To top it off, it was the day of that March snowstorm this year. I had to go out and shovel. I was staying with my parents and my mom remarked to my girlfriend: "He looks a little slow today. Must have been one heckuva night last night."

Well honestly now that i think about it, the only thing that has ever gave me a hangover is Everclear. I have put down well over a case of home brew @ 5-6% and no hang over. Maybe its just how my body works?

6% across 8 hours and I did drink water as it was hot as hell here and I was brewing outside. Not especially worried that I have a problem yet, Just always hear that its the people that handle thier drinks well that end up with problems.

I can't imagine drinking 20 of anything including water in 8 hours. Ain't that much room in my body for that much liquid.

Trust me I marked the hell out of my territory in my yard all day and well into the night. I pissed clear the entire next day.

Drink, drink, drink, purge...

repeat approximately 7 times.

Never said anything about holding all 20 units of liquid in your body at the same time.

Guess that's my problem. Not into "purging"

I used to never get hang overs when I was younger. Now though, I seem to get them all the time. Even if I didn't drink much. Feels bad man.
