The #1 Alcoholic Drink To Choose If You Want To Avoid A Hangover

The #1 Alcoholic Drink To Choose If You Want To Avoid A Hangover

I'll try almost anything.

Freshers, listen up - this one is for you - a drink that will prevent a hangover.

Hangovers are interesting son of a bitches that always tend to hit me where it hurts most. The delayed hangover strikes on Monday morning when you really don't need that little shit hanging from your head while you prepare your body into working mode again.

The only thing worse than a hangover are the imaginative hangover cures that never seem to work. So far, I've tried raw egg, downing milk (that wasn't a pretty sight), pure orange juice, clean breakfast, greasy breakfast. You name it, I've tried it.

Someone suggested downing three cans of full-fat coke once, but that's problematic because, you know, I don't wanna die when I'm 34.

So, in a change of tactics, what about if I could have just as much fun in the evening and NOT have to suffer the next day? Well, it's all in the drink, apparently.

Why is it that, besides getting shit-faced, each drink has a different, but equally as grim side effect? Gin, for example, is mother's ruin. If you start crying around me on a night out, the only thing that you'll hear me saying is, 'put the gin down'. Vodka on the other hand makes some of my friends aggressive. Interestingly, it's always the quiet ones who go bat-shit crazy on cheap vodka. Wine, enough about that said, the better. Who orders wine on a night out?

And, lager creates this:

All of which, especially combined, still result in hangovers.

So, stereotypes aside, wouldn't it be great for there to be a drink that is actually going to save your mother of all headaches in the morning.

Well, according to the Daily Star, a team of fitness professionals have concluded that tequila, blanco tequila to be specific, is in fact the best drink to choose if you don't react well to hangovers.

This is because the alcohol is made from 100 percent agave, a Mexican plan, and is void of sugar and corn syrup that adds solid flavour but is your worst enemy the day after the night before.

"As long as you stay hydrated and don't drink, like, a whole bottle, you're fine. Not hungover," says Jason Eisner, director at Hollywood's trendy vegan bar-restaurant Gracias Madre.

That just sums up the injustice in the world, because I cannot stand tequila, period!

By all means, though, be my guest and test the theory on my behalf. You're welcome freshers.
