"Dr Zenon Andreou, a GP, stated that drinking lighter spirits like vodka and gin results in consuming fewer congeners, which are by-products of fermentation found in darker drinks."
"Steve King, managing director at Bottled and Boxed, explained that darker spirits prolong hangover symptoms because the body must break down both the alcohol and congeners."
"Dr Andreou noted that congeners can be toxic, interfering with cell functions and hindering the body's ability to repair itself the next morning."
"Red wine headaches are specific to red wines, with some individuals experiencing nausea and migraines shortly after consumption due to tyramine and histamine."
Hangovers vary based on the type and amount of alcohol consumed. Mulled wine, a sweet festive favorite, can lead to fatigue and dizziness due to blood sugar fluctuations. In contrast, tequila is noted for causing minimal hangover effects. Lighter spirits like vodka and gin contain fewer congeners, which are by-products of fermentation found in darker drinks. Congeners can worsen hangover symptoms, including headaches and nausea. Red wine can cause specific headaches due to substances like tyramine and histamine that affect blood vessels.
