How Do Alcoholics Not Get Hangovers?

Question by Michel: How do alcoholics not get hangovers?
I was just reading a question in another forum. This woman said she drank every single day to the point of passing out drunk. Now, personally, if I get sloshed I will definitely be feeling it the next day. The last thing I would want to do is drink again. I have watched enough “Intervention” to know that hard-core alcoholics never seem to get a hangover. I’m just a little confused as to why.

Answer by Jes
Some do, some don’t. It depends on what they drink also. My mom drinks beer like water, to the point of blacking out on weeknights and never gets sick. Give her a few shots of whiskey and she’s hungover.

Question by needtoknow: OK “ALCOHOLICS” and AA members?
What do you think of this…

1.Alcoholism is NOT a disease. For example, think about it, how could all the members of one band all have the same incurable disease? It’s ridicules.

2.You are NOT powerless. We are power full human beings. Why would anyone want to be told they are powerless? It is a negative and demeaning term used at AA.

3.AA wants you to look in the mirror everyday and tell yourself that you are an alcoholic! What a way to start the day! No you are not an alcoholic, you might have chosen to use alcohol in an unhealthy way. The term alcoholic always has and always will be a negative degrading label. You are a human being who may have not handled alcohol properly. Don’t be labeled.
