Picture it: you haven’t had a drink in a while and you’re in your thirties. Your friends invite you out for a long overdue party and you chug one too many tequilas… You wake up, and you want your head to explode.
A new study has claimed to have pin-pointed at which age hangovers, even from just one glass of wine, become a complete nightmare the day after.
As the body’s ability to deal with alcohol gets worse and worse with age, it is allegedly a specific age in one’s 30s when the hangovers start doing some serious damage. And the (un)lucky number is 34.
According to a survey of 2,000 people aged from 18 to 65 commissioned by greeting card company Thortful, 34 was the age at which respondents started to really feel the alcohol sting. Hangovers start to last up to two days following this age, the study claimed.
However unsurprisingly, it is only until the age of 37 that people start to realise that they have hit their limit. At 38, the fear of being hungover starts to hit even more, with people reporting getting drunk after two drinks.
One of the doctors explained that hangovers are likely to worsen with age because the activity of the key enzymes involved in alcohol breakdown become less efficient with age.
