Beer v Whiskey Hangover

Nate tha' Great · #1 08-17-2005, 03:27 PM

My favorite alcoholic beverages at the moment are:

1) Premium beer.
2) Premium whiskey (usually mixed with cola).

Assuming that the same amount of alcohol is consumed, which tasty beverage will provide the lesser hangover?

I don't get hangovers. I'll take both and smile in the morning.

I am guessing the beer, because I think the sugaryness of the soda will dehydrate you even more so then the beer.

"Premium" means Jack Daniels or Makers Mark. If we get to about the Johnnie Walker Black Label level, it's not getting mixed with anything.

People who consider any whiskey that is mixed with cola premium tend to be the same people who consider Bud light premium beer

Please don't ever call Jack Daniels "premium" again.

If you're gonna mix the whiskey with cola, why don't you buy the cheapest stuff, or one step up from the cheapest stuff?

When coupled with any caffeine in the cola, this is even more true.

Beer in most people will result in the lesser hangover. It will dehydrate you less.

BTW, Bungalow has a pretty good whiskey selection and the bartender is from Kentucky with a really good background in bourbon. Delila's (sp) by Diversey & Lincoln has the biggest rye & bourbon selections in the city, and it's quite the dive bar.

If you go to Binny's liquor store, try Pappy Van Winkle's next time you hit Binny's, it's a microdistillery that's better and cheaper than Maker's (though their really high end stuff is $200+/bottle). Be aware if you are getting the 107 proof or the 94-ish, I've made that mistake and been quite useless the next day as a result.
