Headaches whilst drinking.
I've noticed that quite frequently when drinking, I get a throbbing headache. It's not too painful, but just irritating.
Bear in mind, that I'll be having one beer, and the headache will kick in towards the end of the beer, and not disappear until a few hours later.
This is something new, and I really don't mean hardcore drinking. Like, one beer or two. That is all. It never used to happen before, and this irritates me, because I enjoy a beer on a Friday night, when out in town and so on.
What could be wrong?
And before anyone lectures me and says "You shouldn't be drinking" 16 is the legal beer-drinking age in Belgium. Google it :)

Dehydration is frequently the cause of headaches when drinking. I'm not sure that meshes with headaches starting before the of the first drink. Drinking soft drinks or ice water before and in between drinks and see if that helps.
Could be a reaction to yeast.

Are you sure this type of headache is only limited to when you have a normal amount of alcohol? It's very important to establish that. It sound very odd for it just to appear when drinking.
We aren't doctors at this site and it's not a good idea for someone to render a diagnosis or guess as it may lead you down the wrong path.
You should call your family doctor and arrange an appointment with them. Tell them that you have thunderous headaches for no apparent reason that seem connected to mild drinking but not sure if that's so and are scared about what's happening.
It could be absolutely nothing to worry about but call them and ask what you should do and they'll be able to help treat it or recommend steps to take for a proper diagnosis.
I do know however, that in some cases where there is no explanation for severe headaches that they can and do have people get CT scans to rule out tumors or anything else that is abnormal but I doubt you'll have to worry about that. Do see a physician just to find out why it happens.
