    Are you Asian by chance, or otherwise have Alcohol flush reaction ?

    It wasn’t until my 30s that I realized that most other folks don’t get a headache from drinking alcohol, feel their heart pounding, want to throw up, etc.

    These days I just go with a non-alcoholic beer, I particularly like the ones by athletic brewing.

      I am not Asian at all, and I don’t really feel my heart pounding when I drink. Also I thought people with that condition tend to get drunk faster (like some of my Asian friends do)

      However I suppose it is worth looking into.

        I am a lightweight, it’s true.

        And darn, it doesn’t sound like what’s driving your experience.
