"my stomach hurts, I get drowsy, I get minor headaches, and If I take more than 4 drinks, I'll often yak"
Your body is telling you something. Might be a budding autoimmune issue or an intolerance to something within certain kinds of alcohol. In any event it does suck to not be able to drink, but there are ways around this. Like other posters have mentioned, you can play it off when you're out in all kinds of ways. Just be confident.
"I know it won't be as big a deal after 35"
It may very well be the same deal if you're a single guy over 35. Most people still drink after 35, and if you date younger chicks they still can get self-conscious and insecure if they're drinking and you're not. Just be out and socialize and drink something non-alcoholic. And go to a doctor if the symptoms don't subside.
