I am drinking the Ballast Point Victory at Sea right now. Holy shit, this is the most coffee tasting beer I have ever drank, and I have had other coffee stouts before. I hear the vanilla becomes more prominent with age with Victory at Sea, and right now the coffee is certainly overpowering, but after the initial swallow I am left with some lingering vanilla taste. Good thing I like coffee.

The more you drink the more your body builds a tolerance so you a lot of people in the alco threads can drink a lot of booze in a sitting and get little to no hangover.

A few tips:
1 - Drink a lot of water, especially before bed
2 - Anything that can soak up alcohol in the stomach like bread helps slow down the digestion of alcohol
3 - Alcohol on an empty stomach will go into the intestine much faster where it's absorbed at a much faster rate (you'll get drunk quick)
4 - Everyones body is different, some people can process alcohol much better than others (ie: more efficient liver)
5 - Oily/greasy stuff helps coat the stomach and slow down the rate of absorption a little bit
6 - Orange and banana have stuff that helps a hangover
7 - When hungover usually your electrolytes will be highly depleted so gatorade or something of that sort helps
8 - Drink a lot of water

Hangover is mostly just being highly dehydrated. When you have a bad headache after a hangover it's largely because your body actually pulls water from the brain to try to rehydrate other parts of the body. Pacing and staying hydrated are everything. For a lot of people in these threads it isn't an issue as much because they've built up a huge tolerance but staying hydrated is always important.

More of dat pour :)

So I just finished the last of a four pack of Victory Storm King Stout. Initially I was put off by how hoppy it was. It was more bitter than their Hop Ranch which I also got a four pack of, but once I got past that, I liked it a lot.
