I don't drink myself because it affects blood sugar so much, if it takes you a few days to recover maybe it's your body telling you something? Cutting the drinking down to have three instead of five beers might help. I'm not really sure what else you can, hopefully someone else can help you.

You can still go out, just drink less or no alcohol. Currently I stick to sprite zero but these are the things I have tried over the years, to avoid hangovers or other issues:

- light beer
- drinking more slowly, letting the drink get warm, lol
- having a glass of water in between each drink
- wine or spirits instead of beer
- lemon, lime and bitters... only has a trace of alcohol in it

Good luck and I hope you find a solution that works for you.
