What alcohol causes the mildest hangover?

Beer. From what I've seen with my friends. Beer.

I never had hangovers from drinking margaritas with salt (or shots of tquila with line & salt).

Whiskey and wine hangovers were the worst.

None.

As far as I'm aware X after Y instead of Y before X, or Z drinking being better is all an urban myth.

Beer before liquor isn't an urban myth. It doesn't have anything to do with some fundamental difference in the two things though. It's just that liquor is less volume, so if you're already fucked up, and you're drinking liquor, you're more likely to go too far.

Right, but that's literally "if you drink more alcohol you're going to get more drunk", whereas the myth has a whole load of suggestions tied to it implying it's more than that.

for me it depends on what I've eaten before. If I go to bed after drinking a lot of water and taking tylenol, I'm better, but it varies every time.

Uh, I thought this would be obvious, but the answer is "what has the lowest alcohol content, consumed in the smallest amount". It also depends on your age/gender/weight and personal alcohol tolerance.

I would think it varies from person to person? I have an intolerance that runs in my family that gives me a really bad hangover with beer (and presumably other wheat/grain based alcohols but I haven't tested that) that my friends don't have, but I have never had a hangover from wine. I don't know if there is a standard when it comes to hangovers.

Whatever you can or cannot tolerate. I extremely rarely drink but when I have, no hangover. The only time when I actually was drunk I had eaten a chicken dinner at Perkins. So I guess that saved me from any potential dilemmas. Either that or because I was 21 so just a young kid. And I discovered after that I really don't like being drunk. I like to be in control of my body and not say weird stuff that comes back to haunt you!

Though to be fair, when I do drink, it's alcoholic cider. So far the fav is Woodchuck.

But then again I forgot about shots. So maybe you can tolerate beer but a shot of Jaeger? Maybe not for some people.

all of them if you stop drinking before you get to that point. Or none of them, if you drink too much and don't intersperse with water/salt/food to allow your body time to metabolize it. I mean, sure, sake is weaker than tequila but if you drink enough sake you'll still get a hangover.

Re: What alcohol causes the mildest hangover?

(Anonymous) 2014-07-19 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, this. If you drink plenty of water, have a solid meal before and after you drink (especially a salty one), and don't drink a lot, you'll be fine.

It also very much depends on your body, personally. Tequila has awful effects on me no matter what I do, but I can drink varying amounts of vodka, rum, jager, etc. without feeling much of anything the next day.

BEER!!!!

It's beer, then vodka, then everything else.

Generally, the darker it is, the more it'll leave you hungover

All alcohol, as long as you need and drink enough to compensate for the minerals, salt, and water you lose while drinking alcohol.

Seriously, you can literally drink half a bottle of tequila or vodka in one night and be right as rain as long as you make sure to rehydrate and eat some greasy, salty food. (Greasy might be optional, but it's what I and everyone I know crave after a bender.)

I think there are a number of factors to consider.

1. Sugar content. Drinking the equivalent of a half-dozen Cadbury eggs over the course of an evening is likely to add a sugar crash on top of your hangover.
2. Sulfite and other sensitivities. Otherwise mild headache or heartburn triggers might turn into big ones added on top of alcohol.
3. What goes down, might come up. Few things are nastier on the way back up than fruit juice.
4. Speed and timing. Low-concentration drinks spread out over an extended period of time are not going to come on or crash as hard as high-concentration drinks consumed over a short period of time.

rum and kahlua

Ethanol is ethanol, anon, and most of the symptoms of hangovers are due to dehydration more than anything. Don't get too trashed, drink two glasses of water before you go to sleep, and you should be fine. If you vomited before you called it quits for the night, drink a Gatorade or something too.

Drink lots of water after then you'll be ok. Although, I've heard and experienced that wine hangovers are the worst.
