In social settings, can wary from a couple of times per month to two months between. Just having or two drinks/glasses of wine. I feel I get more easily hangover with age, and I don’t want to waste the next day - and I don’t feel comfortable/safe loosing control when out.
Its not an experience worth having. You feel sick, hangovers can include most of the being sick symptoms. Its around the discomfort I had from a moderate flu. Nothing crippling, but not worth feeling that level of unwell for a day when its easily avoidable.
I’m not sure why I’m immune to them. I suspect it’s because I hydrate like crazy at the best of times. I gather the hangover is mostly just lack of water turning your blood into a sludge of salts.
Before I had my first “hangover” I assumed I never had one either. It wasn’t that I never had one, it was that I never dunk enough at a time to have one that was bad enough to identify as a hangover. Plenty of times after a late night of drinking I’d feel a bit bad in the morning, but I just assumed it was from the sleep deprivation rather than the alcohol.
If you never drink too much at one time you won’t get hangovers. I don’t think the mechanism behind it is fully understood.
Well as I said elsewhere, I rarely get beyond “a drink inside of me” and I positively hate being “actually drunk”. (I’m 59. You can count on a single hand the number of times in my life I’ve been actually “drunk”. My “I hate this feeling” cut-off seems to be the third drink of a social evening.)

I’ve never had a hangover and I’m not even sure what they’re meant to feel like other than “very bad”.

That’s a good practice. Alcohol is great, but only in moderation.
