I m a male, 28 years of age! Every time i enjoy a alcoholic beverage, even if its one, the next day I get really bad migraine headaches. I have tried switching to hard liquor, and different beers. Migraines run in my family as well. Seeking different treatments to get rid off my migraines in total.

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having headache on the next day of taking alcohol.
My response to your question is as follows.

Alcohol is known to trigger acute episodes of migraines.
Hence you need to avoid alcohol and need to take prophylactic drugs like Flunarizine to prevent recurrence of the acute episodes of migraines.

Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope this information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for any further questions and I will be happy to answer and assist you.

Thank you
With regards
