    your digestion’s going to get weird

    Suddenly, I can’t handle porter beers anymore. All other beers and alcohols have the usual effects, but porters give the worst hangovers even with minimal consumption.

    At random, I struggle with milk. Happened consistently for a while, I stopped drinking milk. I started again after a year or so, I was fine again. Nowadays once a year or so milk hits wrong and I can’t digest it, while I can most of the time.

    Caffeine hits way more as well. I used to not care, now two coffees/a big coke and I can’t sleep for hours.

      Something like 70% of adults are lactose intolerant. It’s well known milk was very much an infant thing and not really for adults as we evolved.

      However we have a very powerful dairy lobby which tries to tell us we’re all wrong and we do want the extra cheese.
