your body and organs are weakening like skin wrinkles and eyes go bad etc..

Ohhhh Psycho you are soooooooooo old... LOL You just can't hang like you used to. Boo hoo!

Cause if i have to get older and put up with worsening hang overs then so does every body else!!

The answer is in your question! It's BECAUSE you're getting old. Your body just can't cope with the excessive alcohol as well as it used to when you were younger.

Tell me about it !! I am 32 years old now and can not drink much at all now without being very sick the next day. When i was younger could drink so much and go to bed at 4 in the morning and still be up for work work at 9. Now one night out kills me for the week. So cheap nights out for me now when i go out as wont go over board as cant cope with being ill all day the next day.

The answer that you're just getting older is pretty much the reason. But here's a little breakdown: Your liver breaks down ethanol (alcohol) into acetic acid. This is why you might get the beer shits afterwards because it's quite acidic, like spicy foods. Moving on... There is a part of the conversion to acetic acid that gets harder as you age, which is acetaldehyde. This is poisonous and what really causes a hangover.

I feel the same way,when i was say early to mid 20s i could knock them back for fun and just have a mild hangover which i could shake off in a few hours,now im 32 and thinking about giving up the beer all together. It takes me 2 or 3 days for it to clear up depending on how heavy the weekend was.
