How come I get hangovers now, but before I didn’t?
Okay, so I’ve drank since I was like 14. Back then it was just for fun. Now I’m 16 (almost 17) and recently I’ve been using alcohol to escape from the world more than to have fun. And also around the time I started getting hangovers just out of the blue. Like before I could drink as much as 8 or 9 shots of 40% alcohol (like rum, vodka etc) and feel fine the next morning, but now I only have to drink like 2 shots and the next morning I feel sick, cold, sweaty, very dizzy, and I have a really bad headache. Sometimes those symptoms will last for 2 or 3 days.
I’m 5’1 and 125 pounds, my weight and height haven’t changed since I was 12, and nothing else has changed except for my reason for drinking. (what I said earlier about how I drank mostly for fun before and now I drink to escape from depression, because I get depressed a lot, I go to therapy because I cut myself and I have spilled boiling water on myself 4 times.) Oh and when I drink now, it doesn’t feel any different than before.
Why does this happen? And why now and not before? Why do I get such a bad hangover from such a little amount of alcohol? Would my reason for drinking have anything do with this? (because that’s the only thing that changed) Thanks in advance.

There’s nothing wrong with you, it’s just when you first start drinking your body thinks it’s a temporary bad thing so it doesn’t give you grief over it. But when it becomes a regular thing our bodies f*ck us because they obviously don’t want us to have fun or to be able to sleep at night.
