Hangover from a few sips

I do not have any food allergies. I used to be able to drink alcohol normally. Occasionally hangover like anyone with too much drinking. Then about a year ago I began to get more hangovers. Now I can't drink more than a few sips, and I will be hungover the next day. After those few sips I will get a bit of tingling in the back of my head/neck. Happens with any time of alcohol.

Any suggestions? Had blood tests and all are normal. Two GPs have no idea.

Thanks.

Your body is trying to tell You that alcohol is bad for You.  I suspect that our bodies try to warn us often of harmful things (ie, heartburn, bloating, hangovers, weight gain, etc., etc.)  Our bodies know better than we what is good and what is bad for us. Our job is to listen.  Too often we take Prilosec, Pepto Bismol, treat hangovers, etc., and continue the bad behaviors.  In the long run all these things are still  taking a toll on our bodies......and we keep the medical field in business, BIG business.  Thing is, these harmful things we do to our bodies often cripple and maim us before they kill us.  Your body doesn't want alcohol.  I hope You will listen

Almost sounds like you may have developed allergies to alcohol. Hmmm.  Not sure.  However, I sure wouldn't continue to test the waters.  Since Dr's seem to think everything is normal,  I would take it as a sign that you just aren't meant to drink.  No more worrying about hangovers, no more worrying if you have had too much to drive (not that this ever happened to you)...you will have a fun, beautiful life without worries of alcohol and the potential it has to cause any damage.
Wishing you the best and I hope you find the answer you are seeking!
