Why Your Hangovers Are Getting Worse
You’re not imagining things: this Monday morning hangover might be harder than last simply because you’re a week older. Hangovers get worse with age for a few reasons.

Another is body fat, which doesn’t absorb alcohol, but also increases with age—essentially meaning our bodies run out of space to store the booze.
