Proven: vodka gives you a less severe hangover than wine
If you're in the mood for a good drink today, then you don't just pour anything. Because hey, you want to enjoy your weekend.
And lying in bed all Sunday with an intense hangover and a bucket is really not cool anymore. So what do we drink these days? Let's have a little lesson in partying. Yes indeed: vodka. Or gin, that's fine too, as long as it's clear. Because, research shows, you get a less severe hangover from transparent drinks than from dark drinks. So you might want to skip cognac, whiskey, red wine, and port if you want to look somewhat decent the day after. White wine? That's fine. But wine has other substances that can make you feel a bit more nauseous than vodka or gin. Wine is mainly more acidic and thus a bit harsher on the stomach. The numbers don't lie. This has also been researched, while enjoying a good glass of course. Of all whiskey drinkers, 33 percent suffered from a severe hangover, while only 3 percent of vodka fans had a bit of a headache. Here's a list of hangover drinks ranked from worst to least bad:.
Cognac
- Red wine
- Rum
- Whiskey
- White wine
- Jenever
- Vodka
- This is because many drinks, besides the alcohol that makes you sick, also contain other not-so-great substances. These pollutants are mainly found in dark drinks. Therefore, the rule is: the darker the color of your drink, the worse you feel the next morning.
Of course, it always varies from person to person. For example, a woman typically gets a hangover after drinking three to five drinks,.
a bit of a man, can down five to six without any problems. The best tips if you want to drink along but still feel good? Eat something: make sure you have a base in your stomach. And drink a glass of water in between. This way, the alcohol in your stomach gets mixed and enters your bloodstream more slowly. And if this doesn't help either... It's soon enough back to being just good, well-behaved, Monday. You can enjoy working again with water and coffee.
