I think it’s because of the sugar in wine, I find white wine to be more severe than red personally. It’s different to a beer hangover for sure.
Spirits hangovers are also their own distinct thing too.

I knew it was going to be bad because we eked up having so much, but it was a good night out.
It’s interesting how different alcohol hits, because I can have 2 litres of beer from the growler and be fine, but that’s fresh beer straight from a brewery, no added sugar and preservative free
It’s red that does me in. Histamines, sinus hell etc. Delicious, but no thank you (unless somebody want to make the three day coq au vin recipe I’ve always wanted to try)
All I know is if I mix different drinks that is bad bad news.
Absolutely, it’s a foul, foul hangover when you have different alcoholic beverages. Lasts for a few days too 💀
I think you’re right about the sugar.
That’s what I’ve heard at least, and it makes sense. The body needs water to process alcohol, as well as sugar and the other preservatives, so it’s a more severe hangover as the body tries to process and get rid of it.
Hydration is key. Glass of wine, glass of water, rinse and repeat. I’ve also heard to avoid a severe hangover to drink those hydralyte sachets before going out. I’ve never tried it, but my alcoholic mates swear by it 😂

We’re very lucky it’s a slow day for everyone. Otherwise we would have been straight up to go to swimming this morning
