Researchers at Boston University’s School of Public Health have some good news and some bad news about hangovers. According to a study published in Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, it doesn’t matter if you drink bourbon or vodka, the resulting hangover will have the same impact on performance on neurocognitive tests requiring both sustained attention and speed. And it won’t be a good influence. But, the researchers found, what you drink can influence how bad you feel the next day. The researchers found that drinking high-congener (a substance produced in fermentation) beverages such as bourbon, versus low-congener drinks such as vodka, significantly increased the severity (read “pain”) of the hangover.

Wow, this is cool its a coincident that my favourite is brandy and vodka.
The simplest way to treat a hangover is to not get one, i.e., don’t drink alcoholWillim
Yea, but how much fun is that?
Wow,is that so? Well,for drink moderately.
My experience sure was different! Got drunk on vodka the first time I had any alcohol to drink and still get nauseous at the smell of vodka! That lesson stuck…
no matter which you drink if you will keep food to drink ratio close it will help absorb the alcohol and help with the hangover
It might seem “cool”, but your comment is quite cliche. A typical & universal response,given to justify a legalized drug. Take a moment and reflect, in honesty, about your statement. It is NOT the brandy and vodka that are your favorites?. It is actually the Alcohol catching your fancy!!?
Wrong.!! Food does not absorb the alcohol. Alcohol is a vaso dilater and primarily a sugar. It floods the body, raising sugar levels. This in turn burdens the pancreas & liver, to over produce insulin, which drops the body into extreme low sugar status. The brain blood vessles contract. Food can fill the belly and basically restore sugar balance, instead of the more rapid alcohol rollercoaster. Hunger, smoke, loud music, lack of sleep all often result in a hangover, all without alcohol
