Yep, that's been my experience.If you like me now... then you'd like me even more with a little liquor in me.
Yep, that too.Warning: I become louder and even more obnoxious
Then they throw up in your car. Eww!
Btw, to the masses reading this! I'm not really a huge drinker. I tend to "babysit" them. Or so I've been told.
And I've never thrown up.
And I've never had a hangover. (Jealous? It's my superpower.)
Oh crap, there are masses reading this?
Hehe, you're 25, it's not a superpower, it's your age.
Enjoy it while it lasts, hangovers hit me like a ton of bricks somewhere between the age of 28-30 and from what I can tell that's the norm.
Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
I thought I had some genetic abnormality.Hehe, you're 25, it's not a superpower, it's your age.

I did some reading on it and there are certain genetic groups of people who show a resistance or susceptibility. Like the Irish are more resistant and lots of Asians are more susceptible.
I believe the genetic differences you are referring to have to do with the physiological effects of alcohol and the quantity required to cause intoxication, this is quite different from what causes hangovers. If you think of inebriation as alcohol's effect on the brain, hangovers are alcohol's effect on the body and they are quite different.
The greater the quantity of alcohol you are able to safely consume, the worse the potential for a hangover will be. My Irish-Italian heritage has at times allowed me to safely drink four bottles of red wine in a single night (something that I haven't done in years and I don't recommend ever trying), but the resulting hangover is inevitable.
Besides the quantity of alcohol consumed, the biggest variables I have found that affect hangovers are age, amount of regular exercise and hydration.
Honestly if you don't get hangovers it probably has less to do with superhuman genetics and has more to do with the fact that you're making responsible decisions, and for that I commend you.

This is interesting: http://theorganicsolution.wordpress....ero-hangovers/
I googled that age thing.... Seems like older livers aren't as efficient.The reason some us, including me, don’t get hangovers is because of polymorphisms in the ADH and ALDH genes. These can affect the rates of acetaldehyde generation and metabolism, and therefore change how much a person is prone to acetaldehyde toxicity.
I second the note about hangovers. I'm in my prime for getting terrible hangovers apparently.

Darn it. I didn't really take advantage of it, but I always assumed I was one of those with the genetic mutation. Now I'm reading that my lack of hangovers could have been because of my age. (But everyone else around me got hangovers - I'm confused by this point. Reality contradicts the internet! Oh no!) I guess I have to do some testing to see if I can get hangovers nowEnjoy it while it lasts, hangovers hit me like a ton of bricks somewhere between the age of 28-30 and from what I can tell that's the norm.. Only then will I know about my genetic mutations. To the wine store! (Unless someone wants to mail some Ithaca Nut Brown Ale to me.)
I didn't get this. I asume it has something to do with bewbies or a nasty youtube video. Just a guess.Yeah, I just caught up. I have got to start reading all replies first, lol
Based on your reply above, I think I've figured out your wobbling issue. But hey, at least the kid didn't name you "Two Cups" like i would have

Bewbies......
O.o......
Or maybe alcohol? I don't know someone help me out here.

Sierra, help me out here......
Yeah Foresight, you need help alright!Sierra, help me out here......
But what I really want to know, trailwobbles, does Bewbies have anything to do with the farting parrot?
I am so not in on this joke.

All my friends get hangovers too. I'm convinced I'm genetically superior to them. Someday the world will be covered in alcohol (think Waterworld) and my genetic issues will flourish. So too will yours. We should write up a proposal and marry off our first borns to each other.Darn it. I didn't really take advantage of it, but I always assumed I was one of those with the genetic mutation. Now I'm reading that my lack of hangovers could have been because of my age.

Or something.
Ignore Foresight. He's just acting like a guy.
If he pulls your hair... it means he likes you.
I stopped getting hangovers when I started giving myself 2-3 liters of NaCl or Ringers Lactate IV before I went to bed after a night of hard drinking.
Can we just start calling you Kevin now or...?
You're yanking my chain.
Kinda too masculine for me, Doc. How about Kevinina?
