 It still blows my mind when I don't get hungover after drinking a bunch of wine. 🍷

Two nights ago I went out for dinner, had 2 maths and woke up with a disgusting headache.

Last night I had all too much wine and woke up with a clear mind even after staying up late.

How do people become alcoholics with crappy booze? So much pain. 
 Maybe they're trying to fit in? 
 so it's cringe pain 
 MATHS. NOT. EVEN. ONCE. 
 fuck the maths! 
 WTF is a math? 
 pardon me
*maths

 Oh margarita?? SUGAR MURDER!
 
 Enjoy it while you can! 
 I have unlimited wine.
are you threatening me? 
 it's mainly caused by the sugar, also, though some of the fusil oils of fermentation can be nasty, and these can cause reactions that are rooted in damage done to the liver

the second main cause of issues is dehydration, and secondary to that, electrolyte depletion

the last one is one that creeps up on you over years of drinking too much and you end up with tinnitis, cramps, vision problems, all kinds of vulnerabilities and reduced immunity, prone to fungal infections and many other very unpleasant things

it's not good for you, and that goes double for shitty wines with too much sugar in them (and port and other such abominations)

 how would you recommend the layman tell crappy from not crappy?

i feel like i am playing Russian roulette every time i drink red wine and understand it to be a sulfite thing 
 sulfites are a poster child for all the other additives used but not disclosed.

look for natural wine and if that's not clear Italian and French are better options than most American wines 
 Wine only maxis unite 
 you can't out wait us 
 Tough sell when I'm out in the back forty with the boys  
 will try
