adios 717 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 (edited) Well OK then, by far the most important factor is how much you have drunk and in what time period. I accept that some drinks are absorbed quicker than others (iirc 9% by volume drinks are absorbed at a maximal rate), but these differences aren't that important in the grand scheme of things. Whether you've eaten or not is probably more important tbh. If there really was a difference, would the government not make specific recommendations? The advice on drinking always boils down to how much alcohol you drink, not what form it is, because it doesn't matter. It's funny how you say you feel better the next day when you rehydrate with water. It always makes me feel worse, just another part of the hangover I have to cope with. 171957[/snapback] An empty stomach is definitely a key factor, but I think you're being too dismissive of the importance. For example, I don't drink beer any more, my tolerance for it is pathetic, couple of cans and I'm feeling it. Because I drink a lot of wine I tend to put quite a bit away. If the situation was reversed I wouldn't be able to hold my wine. We also seem to have natural tolerances, I've always been able to put spirits away, regardless of how long it's been since the last one. So I need to mix to get the right whiskey buzz. Talk to anyone who likes a drink and you'll get different versions of that. Granted you have to be particularly careful with anecdotal evidence where drink is involved, but your science is wrong - FACT!

Guest alex Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Different drinks do make you feel different like I agree. There's more to it than just the ABV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As apparantly red wine causes a bastard hangover, as do dark beers, whereas lager is middle of the range.. I found an interesting website a while ago on how to stop getting hangovers.. It was really interesting, will see if I can dig it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which to be fair is partly true as vodka doesn't really give me hangovers. 171972[/snapback] Stuff like Ruby Port and Sloe Gin is meant to be the worst and I think that is down to the toxins they contain.

Meenzer 14055 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Aye, red wine's my usual tipple and I rarely have problems. Seems to help if I stick to the same one all night though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never (touch wood) had a headache in the morning, just either felt a bit grotty, depressed or have a dodgy stomach.. Probs the signs of drinking beer.. I rarely mix drinks too so that probs helps. I'm sure if you went to bed without a sip of water the chances are you'll definitely wake up feeling rough.. Luckily most of the time I get a good few pints in before sleeping. Edit- another point, which my mates always laugh at.. I find that my stomach is always worse the day after a party, usually because I'll drink canned lager and mix brands of beer.. for some reason it doesn't agree with my stomach.. If I stick to one brand it usually is fine Edited August 7, 2006 by Southern Geordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrokles Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Yeah, red wine has always been okay for me. It's all I drink nowadays (doctor's orders). By contrast, one of my worst experiences came after two bottles of white wine. The next morning I walked through Camden and was ashamed that not a single beggar/incense peddlar approcahed me. I looked like I was ein UNTERMENSCH even to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8989 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 (edited) red wine gives me a stotting hangover, but I can (J69 time) drink vodka like it's going out of fashion. don't get hangovers from it and don't really feel "drunk" from it. Of course it helps that I've moved onto better vodkas, not drinking the regular shit at pubs and certainly buying better than "Glens Vodka" for home drinking. it's Absolut or more likely these days, Stolichnaya for home drinking. 42Below is being touted by friends as brilliant, but I'm not so sure. http://www.42below.co.nz/flashad/storyof42.html ...zaynee Edited August 7, 2006 by The Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
