Drinks that don't give hangover?

I'm out tomorrow for a birthday and I know its going to be a big one, but I get the worst hangovers which last until I go to bed the next day and I'm in Uni most of the next day. Anyone know alcoholic drinks that affect you less in terms of hangover? I really don't fancy being rough all day!!

Dude its the alcohol which causes a hangover! Doesn't matter what the rest of the drink is composed of. Try not mixing your drinks, or drinking lots of water in between drinks, but ultimately the only way to avoid a hangover is not to drink alcoholic drinks at all.

yeh I realise, but there must be some drinks that give you worse hangovers than others! Also, I heard there is a special Wine that doesn't give you hangover, think its quite expensive though.

From howstuffworks.com

Howstuffworks.com

Different types of alcohol can result in different hangover symptoms. This is because some types of alcoholic drink have a higher concentration of congeners, byproducts of fermentation in some alcohol.

The greatest amounts of these toxins are found in red wine and dark liquors such as bourbon, brandy, whiskey and tequila. White wine and clear liquors such as rum, vodka and gin have fewer congeners and therefore cause less frequent and less severe hangovers. In one study, 33 percent of those who drank an amount of bourbon relative to their body weight reported severe hangover, compared to 3 percent of those who drank the same amount of vodka.

Because different alcoholic drinks (beer, wine, liquor, etc.) have different congeners, combining the various impurities can result in particularly sever hangover symptoms. Additionally, the carbonation in beer actually speeds up the absorption of alcohol. As a result, following beer with liquor gives the body even less time than usual to process the toxins.

Hope this helps.

Have vodka, lime and soda. The soda water rehydrates as the vodka dehydrates.

I have the most disgusting hangovers whatever I drink, even in reasonably small amounts, but since discovering vodka lime and soda the effects are much more manageable! :p:

^ hmm great suggestion...

Would be better to drink plenty of water when you get home and eat something starchy to help your body process the alcohol. Should help you feel less rough the next day!

If it is good champagne, then yes. But then I don't really get hangovers.

I dont get hangovers, or rarely. i only get them when i forget to do these things: (and ive even tested it, i.e forgot to take them).

Take a vitamin tablet or two before going out, and a glass of water. I dont bother with fruit drinks because it would feel weird later.

Drink to your limit.

Go home, eat a banana, take another 2 vitamin tablets, and a pint of water (if not more), and bring some water to bed with you. youll probably wake up needing a drink anyway, I do all the time even when not drunk.

works every time, you will feel a bit laggy in the morning obviously but without the gurgling stomach, queezyness, and headache.

i generally find that good wine, say £7-8 or above, is less likely to give you a hangover.

Yup, i drink vodka, lime and lemonade all night and only really get hangovers if i mix. But vodka is definitely your best shot in my op., less of a hangover and so many options of mixers so you're not going to get bored with one drink all night!
