I think we're the resident alcoholics people of age who are known to occasionally imbibe in fermented or distilled beverages.
Teach me your ways, oh dispsomaniacal one!
Darker colored liquors are more likely to give a worse hangover, like whiskey.
Drinking carbonated beverages with liquor can make a hangover worse, like rums and cokes.
Don't drink those high alcohol beers you were drinking because they sneak up on you, and you are not going to have a god time in the morning. If you do decide to drink a craft beer with an alcohol percent higher then 6.5, follow it up with a glass of water. Trust me.
Eat when drinking.
Be wary of very sweet alcohols like cider, zimas, wine coolers, mike hard lemonaes...people tend to drink more of these cloying monstrosities for some reason. Blech. Anyway, you'll drink more of these then you expected. Again, match your drink consumption with a glass of water. One drink = one glass of water to drink.
Never drink shots. Avoid super sweet mixed drinks.
Always say no to shots because otherwise you'll end up vomiting outside a strip club, behind your house, and at work when they call you to come in at 6 am. Even if they're running a special in those test tubes, don't do it.
Wine can sneak up on you.
Don't drink: mad dog 20/20, boonesfarm, st. Ives, or old English unless you want to taste the worst of what humanity offers and pair it with the worst hangover of your life.
If you're. In a rural area and someone offers you homemade peach wine or dandelion wine its probably shine wine and its not going to taste a thing like peaches. More like nail polish remover. And even that sip is going to make you buzz.
