At last, we have a scientific study of the old hangover question, “Is it better to drink beer before wine or wine before beer?”
Researchers in Germany took 90 volunteers ranging from ages 19 to 40, split them into three groups (a beer before wine group, a wine before beer group and a control group that stuck with either beer or wine), set them to drinking, then checked on how they were feeling the next day.
The conclusion of the study: It isn’t mixing your drinks that will get you, but the amount of alcohol you end up drinking. More
At least the American taxpayers didn’t finance this exercise in “no shit, Sherlock.”
Or should I say nein wirklich, Sherlock…
I want to hear from Kitty Dukakis before I give this study any weight.
Ich habe keine Ahnung.
Who the hell drinks both in one session? Okay, a good wine with dinner followed by good Scottish ale later is fine with me.
WOW!!!
you mean to tell me that ingesting a poison in large quantities is harmful to the human body?!?
Get out, no way, and how could it be bad for you?!?
Grubbermint says buy poison=good
grubbermint also says buy all natural herb from God=BAD
Ok, got it.
NEVER listen to grubbermint mouthpieces or their enablers.
Didn’t Ted Kennedy get paid for doing a lifetime of such exhaustive research?
Um… Duhhh?
I worked in a county jail 32 years. Dealing with habitual drunks: Beer and hard liquor drinkers, if you had them in a while, would straighten out an get normal and productive. Wine drinkers never recovered that far.
I personally studied this for years. I concur with their findings.
…drinking wine is worse, because it apparently makes you vote liberal…
Let’s see:
Beer then whiskey – mighty risky.
Whiskey then beer – have no fear.
Whiskey then pot – uh, I forgot.
Tequila and lime – it’s jail time.
That study is not representative of USA wine and beer consumption. The purity laws in Germany prevent the inclusion of all the sulfates and nitrates most US beer and wine makers add.
I can drink REAL German beer and wine to excess without a hangover. One cheap US beer or glass of wine and I’m toast.
Let’s just wait for the results of the current study in PA, shall we?
“Drink a lot of alcohol and you’ll get a hangover,”
said Kapitän Offensichtlich.
It’s the dehydration that gets
to you the most on bad hangovers.
I found that drinking a full glass
of water after every 2 drinks of
higher proof stuff and finishing
up with another 2 or 3 glasses of it
allowed the morning after to be decently survivable.
Remember to avoid anything with
Tylenol during and after or plan
for your liver transplant.
John has it. You need water. And, I’ve found that a teaspoon of brewers yeast in any of those water servings will also help in a measurable (to me) way.
Next day. Get your ass in the shower first thing. DO NOT migrate to the couch. Hot water and scrub thoroughly. Your liver and kidneys suffer the main onslaught of the metabolism of the ethanol, but your skin (the largest organ you have) needs some help. Metabolic byproducts of ethanol will hamper respiration of the skin. Wash yo’ ass.
Damn formaldehyde byproduct.
Is it too late to volunteer for this study?
Done my own study on this.
Next morning results were the same.
Woke up and damn if someone didn’t shit in my pants.
I’ll usually drink a beer, maybe two, before wine if I’m thirsty. It’s tough to quench your thirst with wine. It really is tough to quench your thirst with Mai Tai’s. It took me a couple times to figure it out, but I know it now.
“I want to hear from Kitty Dukakis before I give this study any weight….”
What about hillary clinton?
I remember listening to the late Boston radio talk-show host Jerry Williams back in the 80’s when he got a call from Teddy “The Wizard of Uh’s” (as Howie Carr called him) Kennedy who was slurring words drunk. He went on and on about how much he hated Williams. It was gold!
