    Sometimes I eat so much caviar that I puke. It's tough being so privileged.

    I have the same problem with Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shutdown Ale. If I have like 2 I get a hangover.

    Is heady really something to be bragging about? It's not terribly difficult to buy or trade for.

    I think I drank 8 or so headys camping at the beach last year.... Just drink another in the morning and you'll feel fine.

    Stella is the ultimate hangover….after a couple beers (2) the headache seems to hit you instantly! I blame Anheuser-Busch!!!

    It is if you live in, say, Maryland or West Virginia. :confused:

    Never experienced a hangover from Heady. But, morning after flatulence? Yes, and deadly.....

    Most people's bodies can't process super hard to get, really highly rated, TOP 250 beers, leading to bigger hangovers I think

    Maybe that was a bad link. Acetaldehyde can be a by-product of incomplete fermentation or oxidation. I've never had Heady Topper so I can't say but sometimes acetaldehyde can be picked up in the flavor. Budweiser is a very famous example of this and is known to give people wicked hangovers if you are susceptible.

    Well, in my n=1 experience, drinking two Headys doesn't directly cause hangovers... however, drinking five other beers around those two Headys does. Oops.

    Stone brewmaster, Mitch Steele, who previously brewed for Anheuser-Busch, disagrees:
    And from some of Steele's "tweets" - "Budweiser and AB-Inbev beers have the lowest acetaldehyde levels in the US....The green apple in Budweiser is a combination of fermentation esters and ethyl acetate. Not the same as AA."

    ^ This man speaks the truth! Doh...

    But in all honesty, two or more Buds do it every time. Maybe not enough hydration as others have pointed out.

    Well, I would recommend two Sierra Nevada Pale Ales and call back in the morning.
