A small amount of alcohol really can help mitigate a headache or other small aches and pains. Folks just tend to think if some is good, more is better. I have a 750 ml bottle of Jagermeister and a shot glass in the freezer kept for such occasions. It was purchased sometime in the spring of 2016 and there is still over half left. I'm one who doesn't like at all the fuzzy feeling alcohol gives you but one cold beer in the summer is good, sometimes. Mostly it's better with a sandwich.
I managed to vomit blood once after drinking a bunch of Jager! Dry since 2004 and know it's best. Sure a bunch of beers I'd try though, and bourbon, and scotch, and vodka, and gin, and rum, and tequila, and and and.... Well, ya get the point. I do cheat every once in a while and have an O'douls Amber or if I can find it, a Guinness Kaliber, just one though, don't want to pass the F'kout. lol
