ELi5: Why does drinking alcohol give you a worse hangover as you get older?

Answer 1

Drink water.

I used to drunk exclusive soda and I got to a point where if I drank *any* alcohol I’d feel it the next day. Now I drink at least 3L of water a day instead (sometimes up to 8L) and now I don’t get hungover at all.
