If I drink, one glass of red(or white!), have a beer, or a mixed drink... I end up getting a headache. This happens whether I've had food, hadn't had food, drank it with food. I'm always hydrating so I know it's not that.

I just feel like my body has adverse reactions to alcohol.

Hangovers are so bad they are for the record books. It's awful.

As a result, I have no relationship with alcohol. I feel like I'm alone in this! But when I try to search, there's really not a lot of research on hangovers, so this is kind of hopeful that maybe someday, someone, somewhere, can say "water, this is why you can't drink fermented beverages"
