How long do your hangovers last for?

For this very reason I never drink more than 3 glasses at a time but went out on saturday and still feel roughish today.
Why?

3 glasses would not give me a hangover (I assume you mean wine and not neat vodka though).

3 glasses of wine usually fine. did overdo it rather at the weekend but not so much that i was falling over and can't remember what happened. just had a couple more than usual and danced till 3 in the morning. still have headache. am lightweight.

If you're feeling generally grungy all over, it may be that you're reacting to sulphite levels and not just the alchohol - can take 3 days to clear completely. I had this after just half a glass of beer after having DS - the list of wines and beers I can't touch is now so long I'm forced to stick to gin

I do get hangover-type illness if I do a lot of dancing, even if I don't touch a drop of alcohol.

A few glasses too many of wine and I feel shoddy the next day.

Had a huge night out on Sat. A friend's hen night - drank champagne, mojitos, vodka and brandy and didn't go to bed until 8am. I still feel crappy today.

Imho it's only a proper hangover for the first day. Once you've had another night's sleep and still feel like shit - it's turned into just regular feeling like shit! That's just my theory anyway.

Eat some Hula Hoops and drink coke. Or some white bread toast.

My favourite hangover remedy is diet coke and cheesy poofs (said in Cartman accent). Seems to be just the right combination of chemicals and additives...
