TOPIC:

I very very rarely get a hangover. However; back in the day when I'd drink BMC etc. Miller would give me a splitting headache around 2 or 3 pints in.

Well, as long as we're talking about beer and strange medical impacts; I have found when I drink heavily oaked (or even medium oaked) beers that I get heart burn. Seriously oaked beer results in seriously bad heart burn.


I'll also add that on two differnet ocassions in Munich I drank probably more beer than I've ever had in a sinle day and I had NO headache the following day. -And I'll add that I had Paulaner that day, too but it was the Oktoberfest/Maerzen variety and not a Weissbier.

I hate to attribute it to the Rheinheitsgebot as I think it's really holding back German beers, but I'm "batting 1000" with German beers and a lack of a hangover, to use a seriously overused American sports metaphor...

Allergies and intolerences to various ingredients could have a role in this. I don't mean just the added preservatives and such like, "natural" things like oak and wheat could have a role to play. Paulaner is a killer for me though.

I would put it down to the Reinheitsebot, I always found the same thing over there.
If it's holding them back from adding ingredients that cause hangovers then more power to it.
