most men would be better off swapping beer with milk. instead of 4 pints of beer and half a pint of milk, drink 4 pints of milk and half a pint of beer a day.
Seconded. My current standard daily intake is four liters of milk and half a liter of strong beer (occasionally 2/3 or one liter).
Beer helps digest big meaty meals, too.[/quote]
yeah I flipped that to 1 litre of milk and waay too much cider today at the beer festival and now i am paying the price … cider is 8% alcohols
If I tried harder, I might be dead.[/quote]Now that’s dedication to the task!
Actually I agree with you, generally any hangover I have with better quality beers is mostly dehydration…whereas cheap beer just makes me feel like crap no matter what.

Tony Gentilcore had a good blog entry about this not too long ago. To paraphrase him, he asks “Is it the beer (or wine), or the fact that you’re relaxing while you drink it? People usually don’t pound dark beer or wine like they do Coors Light.”
I’m not sure, but you know what, I could use a pint right now and try to figure it out.
Tony’s a great guy, but he’s wrong. I can pound guiness. Guiness seems to treat me well. I’ve set prs the morning after 12 pints. I mean squats and deads, not lateral raises, hahaha.
I have found that better beer does not give me a hangover. franzinkaner, guiness, chimay, and so on. Drinking won’t kill you, but drinking crap will.
Tom,
If you can’t get a hangover off Guinness, your just not trying! [/quote]
Guinness in America, yes hangover.
When in Ireland on our honeymoon it was a different story. Many, Many, Many pints down the hatch and never a hangover.
When I expressed my surprise at this phenomenan to a local old-timer he look flabbergasted that I would expect a hangover from Guinness. He remarked, "Hangover, from guinnes, why would ya lad. For fek’s sake, its good for you…
