I find this interesting. I drink every once in a while (I had two beers out with friends last night) and don't believe I feel anything at all the next day. I have heard from several people, though, that they feel bummed, dumbed down, or otherwise impaired for a few days after they have even a few beers. I wonder if this is a difference in how individuals react to alcohol or if people like you are just more sensitive to the effects? In other words, I wonder if a couple of drinks affects me but it kind of slips off my radar. I have tried paying attention to how I feel in the days after I have a beer and, assuming I don't get drunk, I really can't tell a difference.
