Budweiser hangover

Cheap pint,tennents isn't bad on draught.Carling and tuborg were flying out the door..I remember dropping 24 kegs of carling to a small bar one evening alone.

I used to live in Scotland and drank a lot of Tennents there but I don´t remember seeing much of it in Ireland.
Carling is known as the Canadian version of Fosters, nobody drinks it at home so they just export it. I drank it in England but I also don´t remember seeing much of it in Ireland.
I heard Tuborg was getting very popular in Ireland but that it was because it was so cheap. It´s actually not bad IMO

I drank about 7 pints of "Craft beer" in a Galway Brewery pub a few weeks ago and was in a heap the next day. Not the stronger ones either. If I had Guinness or Budweiser I'd feel the same.

Alcohol is alcohol.

ethanol is ethanol, methanol is methanol, ethyl acetate is ethyl acetate etc. There are loads of compounds created during fermentation.

Its crazy so many are denouncing this "myth" without a clue of the reasoning behind it. It is of course stupid to say some magical drink will give zero hangover, but some will certainly be worse than others.

Beers will have varying ratios of these compounds like methanol etc. So to claim it is 100% impossible that they will have different effects is madness. And of course % would be a big effect, even if drinking the same units.

Yup, its all a myth that you don't get hangover on those 'natural' or 'craft' beers. Its just a marketing thing.

Can you give any examples of this marketing? even just 1. I think the myth here is that such marketing exists.

There was one spirit producer who did make the (legitimate) claim to have a product that would have less hangover effects. Skyy vodka is distilled and treated in ways to make it to be a pretty pure ethanol product. Alcohol can be carefully distilled to separated out the other unwanted by products of fermentation, like methanol. They were prevented from continuing marketing it this way though.

If you are going saw there is 100% no difference between beers would you also say there is no difference between the likes of high purity spirits like skyy and some illicit spirit fermented from mouldy plums high in pectin which produce large amounts of methanol.

It a complete and utter myth that different types of beer give different kinds of hangovers..

Budweiser's brewing occurs over just a day or 2. High temperature & fast brewing are more likely to create unwanted compounds. Most who brew beer know this, people who make spirits at home are very well aware. I once left a heat pad on a wine by mistake and it brewed in just a few days, I remember lots of people were having blackouts after drinking it, though they were not unusually drunk.

Where do people get the idea that hangovers are related to beer quality and nothing to do with alcohol?

The idea is cheaper brews are often brewed a lot faster and hotter to get more efficient use. So its then more likely it would have a higher % of unwanted hangover inducing compounds (congeners). The likes of budweiser may add potato and rice to their recipes and rice fermentations are known to be bad for hangovers, due to the high % of unwanted compounds.

Apple juice already has naturally occuring methanol in it, more is produced when fermented. Bulmers is low in apple juice, meant to be around 30% or so, the rest is fermented sugars and flavourings. Sugar actually makes quite a chemically pure fermentation with only bare traces of methanol being produced. So some cheaply produced ciders like bulmers may give less of a hangover effect than ones using high % of juice. Same with cheap beers, some cheaper ones use sugar in the brew so can be lower in methanol than others. Some expensive belgian beers also use sugar.

I can drink a half bottle of whiskey with some water and be grand. 4 pints of heineken and I'll be hungover before I even leave the pub. Don't agree it's just the alcohol that does it. Whiskey and coke would have me in far worse a hoop than drinking it with water. Tend to drink it faster too, anything with sugar!

Why is it that the mainstream beers are worse quality?

Bud, Heino, Carlsberg are all fairly standard fair. The better beers are the niche ones. Why's that?

Sweet pints. Nice and early on a Saturday

well..... had 6 cans of carling last night and felt like ****e **damn piss water

went to town . bought multivitamins and vitamin c tablets and taking them

i'd normally drink more than 6 (maybe its just ****e carling) need to have some self respect:P and buy a proper beer

Tennents was always a Northern drink. Becks seems to sell very well in my local.

Years ago, my sister & me went on the piss while travelling in Oz.
She drank copious amounts of vodka, we started at about 3pm & finished about 7am, to give you an idea of the timeframe.
At some point, we had chicken nuggets & chips in a basket in a pub.
Next day, whilst she hurled everywhere repeatedly, she said 'I knew those f*cking nuggets were dodgy'.
She was serious.

Oh & bud is p1ss
