It's a very personal choice, and alcohol is ingrained into a lot of our society. Do you drink and if so how much?

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.)
