What beer/drink gives you the worst/least hangover?

cregser

I only get a hangover when I forget to drink water. Before I go out now, I leave a drink of water conveniently placed beside my bed. It's either that or prepare to wince at every light source the next day.

Chemically, red wine and dark spirits (whiskey, dark rums, and brandy especially) give you the worst hangover. Not sure why but I have read this lots of times. Vodka and gin are the least cruel apparently. I never really binge on anything but beer, but stella is DEFINITELY the worst for hangovers. It gets you locked out of your head and leaves you a total mess for about 2 days after with pounding headaches etc. So I steer clear of it now. I drank 7 pints of guinness last night and today I'm in a heap. Played squash and was on the verge of collapsing after 30 mins. Seeing purple everywhere, dizzyness, etc. Hangovers have gotten a lot worse for me as I got older, probably because I drink more, or maybe I'm just more aware of them now or something, I don't know. Anyway, if you get drunk you get a hangovers, full stop.

I don't tend to get hangovers at all any more, even though I drink far more now than I ever used to. The trick is to stay with beer all night, and never touch whiskey! Also, obviously drink plenty of water and get a decent nights sleep!

It aint the sugar, its the methanol. Apple juice is high in naturally occuring methanol (yes the extra poisonous alcohol added to ethanol to make methylated spirits). When fermenting products with pectin (apple is high in pectin) more methanol and cogeners (hangover causing compounds) are produced. Red wine is also pretty high in methanol and cogeners. Cheap brandy whiskey and gin are high too.

Stick with decent vodka, grey goose, skyy, stoli, flavoured absolut.
Or make your own :eek:

Always go to bed on the verge of puking up the lashings of water you just drank.

Beer of any kind renders me incapable of opening my eyes in the morning.
Vodka barely does anything to me the next day.

dont get hangovers yay!!! very rarely i may get an upset stomac for an hour or 2 tho

Tequila = No hangover... ever.
Guinness = moderately bad headaches + ridiculous bowel movements.

Brandy is not big here??? Back home, in my teens brandy and coke was the order of the day. We would buy a 2l coke, drink half, fill it with brandy and then mission to the party . No hangovers from that stuff. But then its all i drank for 2 and a half years, think im immune to the stuff at this point.
U want a hangover, drink sambuca, and a lot of it, you will feel :mad: :mad: in the morning .

mada999

can't drink vodka it kills me....
like jd though..on it's own with ice! if I drink too much of it (especially mixing with coke) I'll puke blood next morning...don't know why though

I think Harp is deadly...its good some bad press to say the least but it's still my fave along with Carlsberg...but I'll drink any beer. Worst drink I think is Newcastle Brown ale...me and a mate were givin a slab of it in the states and we had to drink it, twas free, but it was rotten.....

Bah. Amateurs. Erdinger is a solid, respectable beer, and a perfect stepping stone towards greater things. It's a practically hangover-free drink, you must be doing something wrong, like mixing it with a lesser beverage. Keep your Heiniken, Budweiser and all the other muck I'd rather have rough sex with a syphillis-coated cheesegrater than be forced to drink. They're full of crap that accentuates any hangovers you get.

I'm currently hooked on a lovely Belgian number called Kwak. It's a very smooth (so much so you'd never realise it was 8%), very flavourful amber beer with no hangover effects.

Beer snob? Perhaps. But I'm not the one suffering hangovers after a night out.

I agree with you on the erdinger front - however, more and more pubs are serving it on tap so it could be an issue of poor tap management. Anyway tis as good out of the bottle.

Kwak is a great beer - first time i had it was in Belgo. Came in a strange glass that had its own scaffolding (http://www.belgiskbryg.dk/images/kwak.jpg). Great restaurant too - Belgo - shame it closed down, great beer and great mussels/lobster & chips.

Which reminds me - Duvel gave me quite a remarkable hangover once - I was drinking it like lemonade though.

Those Kwak glasses are great. Had some in a Belgian bar in Cape Town and they made me do what they do in Belgium when you order one - I had to give them my left shoe, which was put in a basket over the bar. It's a form of deposit because so many of the glasses were walking. I was a bit worried the first time I went to the bog that the floor might be like some pub toilet floors in Dublin, but thankfully it was clean and dry.

The only time I remember having a really bad hangover was the morning after I foolishly challenged a couple of Russians in my school to a vodka drinking competition. As a result of that night I can't stand vodka in any shape or form bleh.
Drink of choice is straight JD or JD and coke, never gotten a hangover off it. That or Miller

4Xcut

Can drink pints of guinness with whiskey chasers all night will be fine next day. But a few bottles of miller/heino what have you and i'm fcuked

For those who don't really get hangovers .... just wait until you get a over 30 .... Never really got bad ones until then .... but sadly, age makes a big difference ...

I get the worst hangovers ever! I cant function properly the next day at all. I spend the day in the toilet at work (if im out on a weeknight), and when Im at my desk i have to wear my shades!! So now, no matter what or how much I drink, I always have four pint glasses of water, solpadine, and vitamin B before I go to bed and it does help, but I still get incredibly dizzy and off balance.

I cant touch red wine or brandy, if i do shots or have cocktails, I will be absolutely dying the next day, cursing myself for thinking they were a good idea at the time.

I find vodka (only stoyley.....smirnoff is too harsh), martini and coors light okayish. Surprisingly my favourite drink is whiskey and coke (jamey) i dont get too bad hangovers but it sends me loola, so i really try to avoid it.......

The worst hangover I ever got was after oxygen this year. in fact I believe it may have been a case of alcohol poisoning, I had the shakes, sweats, was hearing things/seeing things moving which weren't.....my girlfriend thought it was hilarious. That was as a result of 36 cans of cider/2 bottles of vodka and 2 bottles of buckfast over the 3 days, paired with blistering heat and a 6 hour drive in traffic home.

Best drink for no hangover - Guinness (be prepared for about 15 trips to the bog and wear your worst undies)
Worst drink for a hangover - Cider
Best hangover - bowl of fruit to replenish your vitamin count and loads and loads of quality H20.

Any of you ever drink cans of druids, real knacker drink. Drank nothing but druids on 2 different occasions, both times, worse hangover ever, then asked two of my mates if they suffered the same (they drink it all the time), they said, "yeah but it's 6% and cheap". What the hell is wrong with them???

liamk

druids is filthy stuff only drank it once and will never again its sickly sweet for a start but those rotten hangovers take the biscuit...
i find i dont get hangovers if i dont give my liver time to recover (i.e. a week) but if i dont oh my god the pain but if i did generally i'd watch out for;
miller - nasty stuff wrecks my head
guinness - too wholesome to drink over a long period of time plus the poor jacks in work has never been the same since that mornin just lucky i was able to blame my mate the boss was not impressed with me that day as it was and he was the next person in the jacks... poor him!
red wine - cant stomach it usually but you kno how it is when youve a few in ye already anythin will if the night is anyway decent or
wkd blue - dont know why just does

Sparky

drinking bulmers for the summer and it gives me some heartburn and the odd runs the next morning, but no hangover, budwiser really fckes me up the next morning, and i could drink vodka all day and have no hangover.

the russians drink it like water, lots of it.

airetam_storm

Yes but their vodka generally has an incredible strong taste that cant be masked by anything

riverrock2009

sarky made a great point there... Erdinger is gread stuff and it hasnt got all the rubbish in it like bud and heiniken etc...... Kwak is great.. Any belgian or german beer really cause again it doesnt have the crap in it and it tastes great. Bud and heiniken isnt proper beer!!! .. its crap! I wouldnt touch it! Go to the porterhouse people and try out a few beers from the menu and you might be pleasently surprised. altho if your a bud drinker maybe you should stay away that goes for you miller and rolling rock and coors light drinkers too you know who you are!!!

ah you obviously got the horrors then, never got them myself thank god but the stories i hear from friends who have got them.....scary stuff!!!

i dont get hangovers from bottles, could drink them all day and night and be fine the next day. i get hangovers from drinking pints though, really bad hangovers as well, usually ok after vodka as well though.
