Dear Drew, My husband is the biggest alcoholic I know. He is always complaining that doing keg stands at a party causes him to feel like a butthole the next day. Why does his head hurt the next day? Is it because that keg beer is the devil? Or is he just a butthole by nature?

Ballerina of the Balcony, This is a question I have plenty of personal experience with. Hangovers just happen to be one of my specialties. So after some research I have discovered that, in reality, keg beer should cause less of a hangover than canned or bottled beer. I know, I am as shocked as you are. The fact is that, because most kegs are kept cold once tapped and they tend not to let air come in contact with the beer, they are more likely to stay fresh longer. The more times beer is allowed to get warm the more likely it is incur the oxidation of ethanol in to acetaldehyde, which will in turn cause your body to experience what we know as a hangover. Now, with all of the science aside, the fact of the matter is that your husband is in fact just a butthole by nature. A portly, sexy, meat-smoking butthole. So feel free to do as many keg stands as you want. Chances are you are going to have a hangover no matter where the 300 ounces of beer you consume come from. Yay!
