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

lime@feddit.nu 5 hours agono 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

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.

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

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.
