I did something last night which I haven't successfully done in a long time; drank an IPA.

Neighbors offered me a beer when I got home. Rowan and Carrie were out so I thought "why not?" Turns out I got an opened bottle of a Lagunita's IPA; couldn't easily refuse it (sidenote: yes, I need to work on that, it happens to me a ton, see also, previous message).

The last few times I drank an IPA I got a horrible headache and hangover and attributed it to a hops allergy (which I was really sad about because I love IPAs). I tried a few experiments with different beers and it pretty much confirmed "don't drink IPAs, drink wheat beers instead, dummy."

But, I really like IPAs, and even though I wouldn't have drank one last night if I had been given a choice of beer, I drank one. And today, importantly, I don't have a hangover!
