You won’t often find me linking to the New Yorker these days, but this article by Joan Acocella is so good I’m passing it along.

    Fun essay Malcolm. It made me think of the fact that I’ve been lucky enough never to have a hangover, or not an intense one. I think the key, for myself anyway, is pacing, not drinking too much at once even while on occasion imbibing a lot cumulatively (although maybe a bottle and a half of wine, the most I’ve had in a period, is not so much). And even more importantly perhaps, eschewing the hard stuff straight (which I don’t care for in spite of my Slavic blood) and instead drinking glasses of wine or mixed drinks. And of course as with everything genetics plays a role, as the writer alludes to by discussing Asians’ vulnerability to alcohol.
