So is it only wine that messes you up? It’d be interesting to know if you get any negative reactions from Breznak for example next time you’re at Systembolaget (if you even drink, I dunno)
No one ever believes me; they genuinely seem to think I get hungover even if I drink just a single beer. Then I can drink them under the table with any kind of spirits, and have no hangover the next day.
I also thought that I was really intolerant of sulfites, as most red wine gives me a headache directly, but it doesn’t seem to be just that…
One way I noticed this was that my boss’s favorite beer is Breznak, and so when he gave me a can as my first drink after-work, I got immediately headached, despite that it should have pretty low levels of sulfites. And then I made the connection a couple weeks later when the same thing happened. So the third time he wanted to hang after work, I took some macro lagers with me (Norrlands Guld), and I drank several without problems.
I can even drink a ton of vodka and not have a headache the next day… but if you give me a half glass of red wine or many different kinds of beer, I immediately get the worst headaches. I wish I knew why.

no because the sulphides combine with my medication to give me turbo-hangovers after a quarter of a glass.
but the airplane explanation is funnier so yeah, it’s that

Then you might bring your own sulphide free wine and pay the corkage fee.

i feel like that’s more of an allergy thing than a preference thing though.
