What about the increased hangover? Is that more normal?
Comment on I Can't Drink Now Like I Used to a Few Years Ago (26M), is that Normal?

I’m a nurse, not a doctor, just gonna chime in here that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a thing:

In general, any kind of sudden changes to your normal functioning are things you should probably be discussing with a physician, even if you’re young and otherwise healthy. The really encouraging news is that, if this is indeed caused by a health problem, you’re young enough that it’s really likely you can completely reverse it and get back to 100%. And if it’s not, then no harm done by seeing a doctor and confirming that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When you’re older? Absolutely. Hangovers are a day-long event at least. Sucks. You don’t bounce back and be a little tired for half a day like when you were younger.
If you’re younger and have an abrupt change in how you handle alcohol, and have a bad relationship with alcohol and drinking, yeah…might be a problem.

Older as in after your twenties?

I noticed I couldn’t shake hang overs after 25. They ruined my whole following day so I just cut out that nonsense.

Yeah, about five years ago I had an ultrasound screening for another issue and my doctor made a remark on a fat buildup on my liver. I wasn’t very overweight, I was just drinking some alcohol, lots of soda and not moving much. Have changed that a lot since then, but I’d never have done anything about it without that random discovery.
