Dark Coloured Alcohol Causes Worse Hangovers

In the holiday season, alcohol is a common beverage, and a hangover is a common problem. Recent studies show that drinking lighter colored alcoholic beverages rather than darker alcoholic beverages lessens your hangover symptoms.

The study conducted to obtain this information included 95 healthy adults, men and women. They were given either dark liquor or light liquor, enough to get them drunk. The following day they were surveyed. The adults who drank dark liquors reported symptoms of sickness and feeling hung over much more than those who drank light colored liquors. However, both groups had comparable levels of impairments with various tasks the next day.

The reason researchers give for the effects of dark alcohol being more severe than light alcohol is the fact that dark alcohol has up to 37 times more toxins than light alcohol. Bourbon was found to be the worst drink when trying to avoid a hangover; better options would be white wine, vodka, and gin.

Whisky, red wine, and beer cause more hangover symptoms the next day than many other drinks do. Although beer and whisky are fairly light toned drinks, they contain numerous chemical byproducts which are attributed to hangovers.

In fermenting materials to make alcoholic beverages many byproducts of materials, called congeners, like woods casks and grains, are used. These have toxic effects on the alcohol which causes the hangover symptoms. Bourbon has 37 times the congeners than vodka.

To cure your hangover completely, medications are always helpful. Taking a swig of Pedialyte before bed but after drinking, can prevent your hangover symptoms in the morning. Dissolving a tablet of Alka-Seltzer Wake-Up Call into a glass of water in the morning may also help. Other drugs such as Rosiglitazone help to relieve your hangover symptoms.

1. Exercise

Regular exercise has been known to lower blood pressure in some people. It’s good for many other things including weight management, lowering cholesterol, and reducing stress. Make an exercise schedule for yourself and spend at least 30 minutes a day 5 times a week by running, walking, cycling, or doing Pilates. There are also special yoga classes which help lower blood pressure.

2. Monitor your Weight

Those who are overweight may have more problems with blood pressure than those who are of normal weight. If you are overweight, try to lose a few pounds in order to improve blood flow by exercising and eating better.

3. Limit your salt intake

Reducing your intake of salt and other forms of sodium may help control your blood pressure. On the other hand, eating foods with more potassium, magnesium, and calcium can also lower your blood pressure.

4. Limit your alcohol intake

High amounts of alcoholic beverages will increase your blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure, it’s a good idea to consider not drinking alcohol. If you choose to drink, monitor your intake.

If you are drinking, limit yourself to no more than 2 drinks a day, and 9 drinks a week.

5. Stress Less

High stress levels will increase your blood pressure. It’s important to relax and give yourself time to wind down before bed in order to reduce your stress, thus reducing your blood pressure. Try relaxation and meditation techniques like deep breathing or taking a hot bubble bath.
