    Hoegaarden, Guinness = No hangovers

    Heineken, Leffe = tolerable next morning

    Jupiler, Stella, Grolsch = Dry salty tongue and pounding headache

    Budweiser, Coors, Miller = A life less ordinary for days afterwards

    The best beers for lack of hangover imo are Coopers Pale Ale and Windhoek Lager. I could drink them all night and be ok the next day.

    The big name draught beers here are killers though. Heineken etc. are pure murder on the head!

    Guinness Extra Stout, Guinness Draught (from a pub), Budvar & erdinger = Bad

    I never forget that Jupiler beer when I lived in Belgium.Four or five glasses of the stuff and you'd wake up with a head like a mad man's ar*e.And its not even that strong like other Belgium beers,its only 5.2%.There was another Pils which is even worse than Juplier for hangovers called Maes Pils and that's only 4.9%.In general if you want to avoid hangover's stay clear of the Belgium beers.:rolleyes:

    As we all know low-alcohol and alcohol-free beers are just as bad for hangovers.

    The brothers may want to cover their eyes but knowing about this might just stop you or a loved one being tempted to stray from the true path.

    Low alcohol beer can be made by taking sweet, sweet beer and ruining it. Mainly by vacuum distillation and vaporisation or reverse osmosis through semi-permeable membranes or dialysis (yes they do take the piss). All of these techniques remove God's gift of alcohol more efficiently than they remove the higher alcohols and fusil oils and aldehydes and other things that are pure hangover juice. Bad and all as it is at least they save the alcohol, others use enzymes to break down the ethanol :(

    Some of these near beers are produced using yeasts which create little alcohol :eek:, messing with nature there - is nothing sacred ! , or the fermentation is cut short, like those brewers should be.

    No I don't mean euro lager,I meant Belgium beers,thats what I said.
    I sampled enough of their beer and the hangovers they cause when I lived there and its not just some of the Pils which can hardly be described as euro larger.Sure stella maybe but I don't see too many six packs of Jupiler pils down the offie.

    Belgium lager, nothing like their ale's an there is a big differ in alcohol strength between a 4-5% lager and a quadruple 12% ale

    That because Inbev is pushing one type of lager here and in the uk,

    Lol at all this crap about preservatives etc.

    There're preservatives and additives in just about every food or drink we consume, so why is it that you don't get hangovers from more things?

    I know what is the worst, the Franciscian Well Red ale thats sold in the Gingerman (Rebel Red), over 4/3 years drinking it occassionally from there can safely say it isn't cos i drink to much of it
    ps can only say for the gingerman only had it in one other place apart from that

    That's one of the most ridiculous statements I've read in a long time.
    It's a bit like going to France, eating only easi singles and then declaring that French cheese is rubbish!

    In my experience, if you drink a beer you're used to you're less likely to get a hangover. If you change much you will. So experiment often when you're young to find which one you like most and drink a lot of it thereafter. Of course, I don't follow that advice myself :)

    I've noticed that too. I sort of grew up drinking Fosters :) so generally don't get a hangover from that.

    I've also noticed if I drink regularly (e.g. every day or second day) I don't really get hangovers.

    My point is that it is an ill-informed opinion.

    You've spoken only of drinking mass produced Belgian lager but then go and tar all Belgian beer with the same brush.

    I whole heartedly 100% endorse this method. Absolutely. There at the weekend I had Guinness but also had a budvar and an Erdinger (which I never drank before) and I had a rotten hang over.

    If I had of stuck to the guinness I could've put a good few of em away fairly comfortably.

    I've noticed that on a lot of forums. It's a smirk rather than a roll eyes.

    I have been to Belgium a few times and even took in a beer festival which was a very wide range of beers on offer and those hangovers have to be my worst ever. Now a half glass too many certainly had more to do with it :) but I felt the Irish body wasn't made for some of the stuff, at least mine.

    German beers I found great for a lack of hangover and Czech beers were even better.

    Here I find Guinness in a good pub seldom gives a hangover but I have to agree with other posts -it's very much how your own body handles certain beers, each to their own favs.

    Irish people tend not to have any problems with wine, which is usually stronger than Belgian beer.

    Coors Light is a killer, needless to say have stayed away from it for a long long time now!

    I disagree.
    I find Coors light the best beer to drink if you have to do stuff in the morning. I don't have any hangover after it.

    I used to get woeful hangovers from Heineken and vodka. Guinness doesn't have anywhere near the same effect.

    Yeah it's interesting, I can drink whiskey or wine with little or no hangover :) but that Belgian beer was a killer, great tasting stuff but body suffered big time the next day :(

    The great thing about beer is the amazing variety out there to try. Sticking to the same one would be an awful shame!!!

    If you get plastered on anything you can expect a hangover!
    People who drink stronger beer are often not used to it and drink far too much of it cause they find they like the taste!
    If you drank wine by the pint or spirits by the wine glass you'd soon find yourself hungover too.
