Maybe it is just me.
Sadly it's not just you, it's just a part of getting older. It seems we process the complex sugars in alcohol differently as we age. Somewhere in our late 20s-early 30s we lose a lot of the 'energy' we used to get from heavy drinking and just get the sedative effect. Hard to have the same kind of big night out as we used to, and probably makes the hangover worse too!
