Are you sensitive to sulfides? hootinholler Jul 2015 #6
No clue. I get stupid after a sip or two and a hangover after a few more sips. merrily Jul 2015 #7
Have you tried white wine spritzers? woodsprite Jul 2015 #9
Yep, but thank you. I just have to find an excuse for acting stupid other than alcohol. merrily Jul 2015 #10

After half a glass of white wine, I get a hangover headache. Those of you who can tolerate liquor better than I can will have to let me know how it tastes.

So, I pretty much stopped drinking after college. I once told my husband that he was lucky because I was such a cheap date. His reply: "Oh, no you're not. You're a cheap drunk, but you're not a cheap date."

Jeez, order a few six-course meals and you never hear the end of it from some people.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to reviews of the Bernie Paloma.

That may cut the wine enough that you can avoid a headache. My daughter found out that red wines give her sinus symptoms, white wines don't seem to have that same effect.
