Oh, you dodged a bullet that time! Drinking more than a couple of beers is like Russian roulette once you breach the half-century mark. There's the old "glass of water between drinks" trick and lessens your chances of having one of those hangovers where you get on your knees and ask the good Lord to spare you. Last time I was felt that bad was before the pandemic, I think.
It's a strange thing a hangover. I can have days where I feel relatively pain free after a big sesh and others where I am dying after three beers!
I miss the days of not having to worry about it. A lot more strategizing is involved as we get on in age!
