We all know that a long night of partying can result in a hangover the next day, but you may be able to avoid the pain by choosing certain liquors over others.
A study was done that involved 95 heavy drinkers, ages 21 to 33, and their job was to get drunk. Not only did they get to booze, but they even got paid for it! The study found that bourbon is likely to give you a harsher hangover in comparison to vodka.
MSNBC stated that researchers “weren’t simply looking at the effects of alcohol, however. They were specifically interested in the levels of toxic substances called congeners in the alcohol. These compounds are byproducts of alcohol fermentation, and they are partly responsible for the alcohol’s color. Darker liquors and wines have more congeners than lighter ones — for instance, the amount of congeners in bourbon is 37 times the amount in vodka.”
If you or someone you know has a drinking problem, find help near you.
