I love a good beer as much as the next guy who loves a good beer as much as I do, it’s a simple as that. What I don’t understand is this:
Why does beer hit me harder when I drink it during the day than if I drink the same amount at night?
Anxiously awaiting responses with sundial, opener, and bottle in hand,

That’s an excellent question, to which I have no scientific answer. For what my opinion is worth, though, I think it’s about 80% psychological. You’re so used to being drunk only at night, that there’s a “Hee-hee, I’m drunk and it’s not even noon yet” feeling to the whole thing. I remember (vaguely) in college that when I would start drinking in the morning (I see a counselor twice a week), it would hit me so much harder. First of all, you probably end up drinking more, because you start earlier. Plus, you’re trying to deal with a world that is NOT drunk, which makes it a lot harder. Then there’s the whole scientific side to it, like the sun makes you sweat, which means you have less blue/green t-blood cells to fight the alcohol and you’re liver has indigestion because you’re kidneys are overweight.
Or something like that.
I was going to say something about it being mostly psychological. msc, clearly, you have been there and done it. Prob’ly puked on the T-shirt! 
Hehe.
Yeah, I used to think that it was the coolest thing.
Age changed that of course, and I haven’t mixed beer and sun in years. I would like to know more about the actual physical ramifications for drinking during daylight.
Is it better or worse for your liver?
One thing is for sure, though, day or night, puke always tastes the same.
Beer in the daytime just makes me sleepy. Eight or nine cans at night is one thing, but just half a can on one of those warm, lazy Sunday aftern… zzzzzzz
If, like most people, you have your biggest meal in the evening, you’re probably drinking on an empty stomach during the day and absorbing the alcohol faster.
