Answer 1

Just drink more water either before or after.

Alcohol dehydrates you as your body tries to purge the ingested poison. Drink what pleases you.

Answer 2

I believe scientific research found that the alcohol with the higher methanol content caused the biggest hangovers. Two forms of alcohol are produced when fermenting - these being ethanol and methanol. the body breaks down the ethanol first, and when it starts on the methanol (which is toxic), you start to feel the side effects. Thats why the "hair of the dog" works as well as you re-introduce ethanol which the body starts to break down prior to anymore methanol.

Anyhoo The alcohol with the lowest methanol content is Vodka. The alcohol with the highest methanol content is cider. (if trying those Vodka drinks check the label as most are cider based in terms of alcohol and usually have just 1% or so of Vodka, just marketted by Stollies etc - but they wouldn't be good)

Answer 3

Charcoal filtered vodka. The filtering removes most of the fusel oils. These are the impurities which cause the hangover.

Answer 4

If you are a diabetic, why do you want to jepordize you health with alcohol or even weed. Stupid, I would say. I like my life too much to shorten it with stupid stuff. I also don't like the feelling of waking up and not remembering what I did.

Answer 5

I get the least hangover symptoms from Gin.
