Are different people more susceptible to hangovers than others?!


Question: Are different people more susceptible to hangovers than others?
Last night I went out with my friends and drank a whole bottle of wine by myself. My other friends were drinking heavily as well and woke up with terrible hangovers. This morning I woke up with just hardly a head ache and I thought wine was supposed to give you the worst hangovers. My friends always joke that it's because im irish. Is there any truth to this?

The genetically Irish part is only a myth. But the part about susceptibility to hangover being different between different folks is very true. Taking the alcoholism factor off the table some folks can pound certain alcohol and wake up cheery and fine. Others, however like myself, become hungover within hours of drinking anything alcoholic. Probably not a great reason to take up chronic drinking but if you had some other kinds of alcohol the result could be different.
