Different Country, Different Hangover?

The Agogo

Ever noticed in Ireland (especially Dublin) that hangovers are truly beastly?

Yet, having drunk myself silly in Spain, Germany, Mexico, America, France, Britain etc etc:

There is no bloody hangover!

What are they poisoning us with over here?

Worst one I ever had was in Mexico.
I was in a crap state for a full week after!
(Half the time, I didn't know what crap I was drinking. My own stupid fault.)

Spain. Friends. Never again.

Hell go to Prague for few days and drink Pints for 1 euro and I bet you will get hangover fair quick:D

Pints of Stella Artois in Spain this year made me as sick as a small hospital!

No way.. I've had horrible hangovers in london, egypt and france.
Worse than home . Ugh.

ill agree with the hangovers are different bit but i believe its down to what your doing in the other countries.

Generally on holidays ill drink like crazy but ill force myself up early to do stuff and to have a decent breakfast because its part of the hotel thing and drink loads of water because its usually really warm.

While at home ill drink like crazy and just stay in bed the morning after and not drink water and not eat in the morning.

Heineken, Budweiser, Carlsberg, Bulmers - all four common draught beers in irish pubs, give me atrocious hangovers, partly because they're crap mass produced beers full of chemicals.

Quality beers [as in those which are roughly €2 for a bottle in the offy] dont really give me hangovers.

The thing is, although you're buying more expensive beers, you'd gladly pay the difference the next day if you had a thumbing head and a dodgy stomach.

I reckon theres some truth in this. I have polish friends and they all say the same that a hangover here seems to be way worse than there for some reason.

Worst hangover was in Prague after a few shots of Absynth and Absynth cocktails. Never again

Don't get hangovers really.
More I drink, the less of a hangover I have.


My local does Bavaria on draught for €3 a pint, but that does agree with me less than any other drink it's fair to say.

This is a thread for lightweights.

Real men dont get hangovers

Think I must agree with some of the above. There seems to be a lot more chemicals and what not put into our beers.

In Germany they have the 'Reinheitsgebot' which is basically a purity law that limits the sh!te put into beers. When I was in Austria skiing back in January, I can safely say I drunk myself to oblivion one night, yet, I was still able to get up at 08:30am the next morning without being hungover.

Whereas, at home if I was to drink the same amount I drank in Austria, I'm quite sure I wouldn't be surfacing from bed 'til the next week at the earliest.

So in conclusion, definitely different hangovers in different countries.
