Dark liquors cause bad hangovers

Ever heard that drinking red wine will give you a splitting headache the next day? Well, there’s science behind this theory.

Congeners are byproducts of the fermentation process that occurs when alcohol is made. So, if you tend to get horrendous hangovers, swap the bourbon for vodka.
