Hangovers Do Not Improve With Age

Do hangovers get worse as you get older? Science says yes! Why? Because everything gets worse as you get older. You think your recovery from debauchery should be immune? Fool. You're DYING SLOWLY. Nothing improves. Anyway, Happy St. Patrick's Day. Let's all celebrate the grand culture of the Irish by drinking like people with crippling alcohol dependencies and vomiting into the street.

I basically gave up drinking for a year and a half for this reason. Hangovers were too intense. Now I drink in moderation. Sucks.

Clearly the people who commissioned this research either don't drink, or else are under the age of 26 1/2 (the magic age at which hangovers shift from "inconvenience" to "completely debilitating").

Oh my God… you're absolutely right. I wondered how I went from thinking, "Big deal, I blacked out, I'm alive", to thinking "Holy fuck, how am I alive. Never again". My birthday. It makes so much sense.

I'll be drinking tonight, celebrating an anniversary: 10 years of TOTALLY HAVING SEX WITH PEOPLE.

Happy 40th!
