Hypothesis: Over indulging in beer can cause a hangover independent of alcohol quantity.

Considering that beer is made traditionally out of four ingredients: water, grain, hops, and yeast. Over indulging in any of these could be the cause of the hangover.

The main issue is that there is little to no research in this realm.

Let’s first look at hops. There is some research in hops capsules, though they only deal with quantities of 1.5 - 2g. And considering that home brewers standardly use 14g per 3.8L, which would equate 3.68 g/l.

If one assumes that over indulging is defined as more than 3 l/d, then one would quickly fall into the hypothetical hops poisoning group.

I have experienced such a hangover many times this year although I don’t drink alcohol. Just recently had a binge of 4L. Either I need more meticulous data to show that the beer is the dominant factor and not some other dormant instance like hours awake or just find the limit of volume to mitigate the outcome.

Wheat and water are less likely the cause considering that both are prevalent in the standard western diet.

Yeast could also be a factor to explore and easy to test to a point, since one could just eat high quantities of baking yeast. Though this yeast usually isn’t equivalent to the yeast used for beer. Or one can drink hops free beverages that still use yeast like ginger beer.
