Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

In social settings, can wary from a couple of times per month to two months between. Just having or two drinks/glasses of wine. I feel I get more easily hangover with age, and I don’t want to waste the next day - and I don’t feel comfortable/safe loosing control when out.
I've never had a hangover and I'm not even sure what they're meant to feel like other than "very bad".
Its not an experience worth having. You feel sick, hangovers can include most of the being sick symptoms. Its around the discomfort I had from a moderate flu. Nothing crippling, but not worth feeling that level of unwell for a day when its easily avoidable.
I'm not sure why I'm immune to them. I suspect it's because I hydrate like crazy at the best of times. I gather the hangover is mostly just lack of water turning your blood into a sludge of salts.
Before I had my first "hangover" I assumed I never had one either. It wasn't that I never had one, it was that I never dunk enough at a time to have one that was bad enough to identify as a hangover. Plenty of times after a late night of drinking I'd feel a bit bad in the morning, but I just assumed it was from the sleep deprivation rather than the alcohol.
If you never drink too much at one time you won't get hangovers. I don't think the mechanism behind it is fully understood.
