Again I suspect that's all true
but many of the factors that govern whether you get hangovers must be inherited from your parents I'd assume. So rather than me asserting that I inherited a 'no hangover gene', what I meant was that I'd inherited certain characteristics that mean I don't get hangovers.

I'm pointing out that it is odd that although my parents are no longer heavy drinkers at all, that when they do/did drink a lot, my father had never got a hangover (dating right back to student days) while a couple of glasses of wine would make my mum have a headache. And that my brother who is a good deal taller/more muscled than me shares that trait with my mum, whereas when I properly drink- (generally 20-24 units in an evening, but not very often) I don't get one.

Can't drink water when I'm drinking alcohol though. Makes me want to vomit

20-24? O_O
Anything over around 10 units and I'm edging into "dangerously drunk". 18 units almost killed me.

I once drank JD, Bacardi, vodka, coke, lemonade and energy drink all in the same cup. About a pint and a half. At about 4 in the afternoon. I vommed in his orchard, then passed out in the field by the barbecue. Woke up, my ex fed me bacon.
I should not drink.

That's only on a big drinking night
on most drinking nights I hover at about 18 units maybe. Being a student means it's all a bit imprecise. Sloshing amounts into a pint glass etc.

I'm impressed you could eat bacon after that! Though I guess being sick must've helped.

Yeah, actually.
Not the first time I'd had a taste of his meat though

We then exploded a kiln
