Explain why Henney doesn't cause hangovers?

Is it true that dark-colored liquors like bourbon give you a worse hangover than clear ones like vodka? If so, why?
The thinking on this is divided. Roger Boulton, a fermentation and distillation chemistry expert and professor in the University of California-Davis' Viticulture & Enology Department, says they don't. "The current thinking is that dehydration is responsible for hangover," he says. Drinking equal amounts of identical-proof vodka and cognac will get you just as drunk, and will make you equally hungover the next morning, he says.

However there is also the belief, voiced in a 2000 study of hangover research in the Annals of Internal Medicine, that brown liquors do cause worse hangovers. The reason? Alcohols in the booze other than ethanol, commonly referred to as congeners.

A distiller tries to isolate the "good" alcohol, or ethanol, from the "impurities," including congeners, contained in the soupy fermented material he's distilling (corn, barley, or rye for whiskey; sugarcane for rum; etc.). These include methanol, or wood alcohol, which can make you go blind if you drink too much of it, and a group of compounds called fusel oils. The distiller will do this by throwing out the first and last parts of what comes out of the still (known as the heads and tails), and in some cases by redistilling the alcohol to strip it further.

Though all liquor, regardless of whether it's destined to be cognac, whiskey, or vodka, comes out of the still clear (barrel aging turns it brown but doesn't add any congeners), distillers making brown liquors usually don't strip their booze of as many of the impurities as those making a clear spirit. While vodka in particular is supposed to be flavorless, and odorless, brown spirits don't have to live up to such a standard of purity. Congeners, although they might cause worse hangovers, all produce flavor. And when it comes to brown spirits, that's a good thing.

well alcohol has conjenures (sp?) witch is the level of ethanol that is in the drink

so drinks like red wine will have more ethanol and will give u a massive hangover if u drink enough.

dark alcohol are not distilled there aged in barrels bifferent types. so it has a lot of umpurities in it

the most pure alcohol is vodka because it goes through there distilarys some more then others. and it depends on what type.

so drinks like popov is only distlled maybe 3 and ciroc is disstiled 5 time a much better sooother taste and u will feel a lot better in the morn.


and a hangover is simply dehydration, may cause u nausea and headaches.

sorry for the long read!

ie - grey goose is less likely to give you a hangover compared to popov

Had like 8-10 of those last night. Woke up this morning like it was Christmas day lol.
 
I tend to have horrible craps the day after i drink. When i get hammered then i'll yack.
 
My boy is about the same size as OP and he can take down a 12 pack of beer and a couple shots. He also has one kidney

This past weekend I haven't gotten a hangover but I haven't been drunk either. Last night I took down 13 beers (my case plus a spare) and a coupleshots and was just a little buzzed. I don't know what's goin on cause all christmas break I was pretty chill with the drinkin
 
i get a hangover if i drink enough of anything...OP you just didn't have enough..
 
6-8 shots will be out your system by the time u wake up.... If u drink 12- 18 shots/drinks you will be hungover because each drink of alcohol take an hr to omeout of your system , so if u get drunk off of a few drinks and u sleep 7 - 10 hrs you will feel great when u wake up.... try that with some overproof rum ormixing driinks all night..... you'll have a different story to tell
 
I don't get hangovers either. If I feel funny when I'm about to wake up, I just go back to sleep.
 
I've had the worst hangovers from Henney. I steer clear from any dark liquors.
