So which alcohol personally gives you the worst hangover?

    Over the last 2 months or so, I've gotten pissed on a different type of alcohol every night I've been out, to find out which is the best when it comes to avoiding a hangover. Personally, I've noticed whiskey, gin, vodka, cider, ale and stout will give me a fairly bad hangover, but usually after a shower, water, and eating whatever I can eat, I'll be able to go about my daily business with only some fatigue. Tequila is the work of the devil though, drinking tequila for me means staying in bed all day the next day. Lager on the other hand though, is fantastic, I can down lager by the pitcher, black out for the night, barely even make it home, go asleep at about 4 and wake up at 10, hangover free.
    Has anyone else noticed similar results?

    I never get any hangover after vodka... I don't even get that drunk off it any more. Guinness gives me a shocking bad hangover but after a few hours I'll be alright. I think it's true when they say the darker the drink the worse the hangover. I'll be fairly shook after a tonne of Jager as well

    Worst hangover I've ever had came from the Erdinger served at that Oktoberfest in Dublin IFSC.

    All alcohol. Except white wine, for some reason.

    So I hardly ever drink.

    Same for me. I never get hangovers from vodka or gin.

    I find cider, whiskey and red wine the worst for hangovers.

    I only had 4 pints last night and this morning I had a terrible hangover.

    That's the last time I'm drinking whisky

    The cigarettes and booming music usually are the contributing culprits.

    I usually drink only vodka, I can drink a lot of that and while I wouldn't claim to be hangover free the next day, it's fairly manageable and I'm normally respectable by lunchtime.

    When I drink cider all night though, I get awful hangovers that linger for the day.

    Pints of miller nearly finished me off years ago…
    Can drink lots of wine tho hassle free..

    Bad guinness is bad news. Along with the whopper hangover the dose of skitters don't help !

    Cider and red wine are the pits, vodka doesn't give me much of a hangover at all if any.


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,646 ✭✭✭✭Sauve


    Mixing drinks is my big no no.
    Just a few of the one type and it's all good in the hood. It's when someone appears with shots or some aul concoction that it gets funky.

    Olde english 800 malt liquor, hangover is like being hit by a freight train


  • Registered Users Posts: 225 ✭✭Copa Mundial


    Vodka without a doubt. The fear hits me fair hard the morning after :D that and Sambuca.

    I could drink cider all night and wake up fine in comparison.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 954 ✭✭✭Highflyer13


    Last night I had a lethal cocktail of heineken, Guinness, Jameson, sambuca, jaeger bombs and 2 double vodkas and red bull and I'm grand today. Only a few days ago I had a few pints of Guinness and I was in bits the next day with a hangover. Hangovers be crazy.

    Beer, though I'd imagine that Rum or that Jager stuff would hospitalise me. Diabetes - never get it.

    Captain Morgan and black bush. They both kill me so sadly I dont drink them anymore.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,238 ✭✭✭humbert


    Methanol, vicious hangovers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,933 ✭✭✭smurgen


    Had a night of champagne and Jaeger before.I was like Hans Moleman the next day.

    For me wine is the worst for hangovers, it's a combination of sufficient liquid to cause dehydration with high alcohol.

    Spirits are best for me, the low volume of liquid means less dehydration which means "less" hangover. Or at least, a cleaner hangover.

    Surely this makes no sense at all? I mean, wouldn't more liquid cause less dehydration? I figured that was one of the reasons why lager gives me no hangover, because I'm consuming more water compared to the amount of alcohol I'm drinking.

    Erdinger or any cloudy beer. Red wine blows the tits off me too. In bed all day the next day guaranteed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,954 ✭✭✭Tail Docker


    Chilean wine doesn't give me a hangover, any other countries wine does. No idea why, maybe less additives? Spanish/American wine leaves me with a cracking headache the next day.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,745 ✭✭✭Macavity.


    I don't get hangovers in the traditional sense, but I have health issues with my stomach so I usually feel the effects of drink that way. I can't think of any type of alcohol that is particularly bad though. It usually depends on the amount I drink or whether or not I've mixed alcohol.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,076 ✭✭✭HalloweenJack


    Beer is about 90-95% of what I drink these days. It's always quantity that does me.

    The worst hangover I ever had came from Baileys. I drank a ridiculous amount one night for some reason and I was destroyed the next day.

    Gin really affects me but there's a little sign on the bottle that says
    drink me please

    I am like Alice in Wonderland.
