Myths about that "Crunk Juice"

The Truth About Hangover Cures

MYTH: Hangovers Are Gender-Blind
FACT: Use caution when enjoying those free drinks on Ladies’ Night. Given the same drinks, women are more likely to be slammed with the effects of alcohol than men. Men have a higher percentage of water in their bodies, which helps dilute the alcohol they consume.

MYTH: Wine is the Gentlest Choice
FACT: Red wine contains tannins, compounds that are known to trigger headaches in some people. Malt liquors, like whisky, also tend to produce more severe hangovers. If you’re worried about how you’ll feel in the morning, the gentlest choices are beer and clear liquors, such as vodka and gin.

MYTH: Liquor Before Beer, Never Fear
FACT: It’s the amount of alcohol you consume – not the order of your drinks – that matters. If you switch from beer to shots, you accelerate your path to drunkenness.

MYTH: A Wake-Up Cocktail is the Cure
FACT: More alcohol in the morning does nothing but postpone a hangover. .

MYTH: Pop Pain Pills Before BedFACT: Over-the-counter painkillers peak in about four hours, so the effect of a bedtime dose will be gone by morning. A better plan is to take the pills when you first wake up. Avoid taking acetaminophen after a night of drinking.

MYTH: Coffee is the Cure
FACT: Coffee leads to more dehydration and could make your hangover worse.

MYTH: Eat Pasta Before Bed
FACT: This one is wrong on two counts. First, eating at bedtime (after you’re already drunk) is no help. Food has to be in your stomach before Happy Hour to have any impact. Second, while any food can slow the body’s absorption of alcohol, fat does it best. So go for steak or pizza before your first martini, and you might escape a hangover.
