The Best Hangover Tips!

Then you'll be so cool everyone will want you.

What to drink and what to mix

One of the best hangover tips to follow is that the lighter colour the drink, the less of a steaming head you’re likely to have in the morning.

The darker drinks, such as red wine, tend to have more congeners, which are chemical impurities but are actually responsible for the taste, flavour and colour of the drink.

About congeners

If you do insist on drinking the darker beverages such as brandy and red wine, at least stick to the same drink all night and don’t mix with beer or other spirits.

Try to drink good quality alcohol too, not table wine paint stripper mixed in with low grade industrial brandy.

However, there are naturally exceptions to the rule. For example, after drinking some good quality red wine you can still wake up feeling more or less fine, without a headache.

Rum and tequila are clear drinks, but have been known to give worse headaches than anything else!

Beware of exceptions to the rule, they will get you.

What drinks you should avoid at all cost

Vodka, Gin, lager beer, good white wine, good Scotch whisky.

Drinks that can make you feel like a dwarf hit you on the head with a baseball bat:

Brandy, red wine, certain darker beers, certain cheap white wine, bad, cheap whisky, bourbon, port, rum, tequila

The above drinks are the ones that are more often than not loaded with congeners. Especially tequila and rum.
