That's an excellent question.

Most people think that if a few drinks make them feel good then many drinks will make them feel even better. But that's not true. Although a few drinks will make them feel better, more will make them feel worse. It's called the biphasic (or two part) effect.

People tend to feel better as their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) rises to about .05 (.055 to be exact). That's the first phase or part. If people drink more and their BAC rises above .055, the negative effects of drinking increase and hangovers become worse. That's the second phase. So it's clearly smart to stop during the first phase and not progress into the second phase.
