Why no hangover with vodka?

[cantdrv55]

Not exactly true. Tito’s gives me a slight headache in the AM but not Ketel One. However, every whiskey I’ve tried so far does. I’ve had Lagavulin, Makers Mark, JW Black and Glen Livet. Going to try Elijah Craig small batch next. Anyway, vodka seems to be the kindest to me so it’s my go to now.

Anyone else prefer vodka to whiskey due to no hangover?

[dad911]

Never a fan of whisky. I all but stopped drinking a year ago. No hangover, but more than a drink or two and I felt 'it' for at least a day, and less than 3 drinks why bother?

Because you haven't drunk enough Vodka yet

I used to drink Vodka all the time, never got hangovers.
It kept me going from club to club, days on end, not tired, party on.
at 30 my body decided i've used up all my free tickets.

Since then Vodka is off the menu because A it will first amp me up(unpleasant for anybody near) and B then black me out and C give me a temporary brain tumor for the next 24 hours

Since then moved ot Scotch which is milder in terms of hangovers, It just makes me lazy the next day.
And no blackouts , it just mellows me out and prone to producing loads of nonsense, but generally entertaining nonsense.

Because you don’t follow it up with a couple bottles of Cabernet

Put in on ice with nothing else, then tell me how things go. Did that ONCE and only once and will not touch Vodka anymore.

Hummm, straight on ice is the only way I drink vodka cabman. Are you saying that you drank too much that way - ie not cut with something? If I'm not drinking wine with the wife during dinner then I am happy with 3-4 shots of a good vodka or scotch with some ice. Gets me mellow and off to bed I go. I do supplement my cocktail with a couple bottles of water that I alternate between. The wife and I are not into parties these days so we rarely push further than the mellow. But on the random night we start playing 80's rock hits then all bets are off.

FKin A what a bunch of Alkies...No wonder you act like you are staggering around in a blind drunk stupor all the time.

I drink Grey Goose on a slow day, Grey Geese on an intense day, and Grey Gaggle on a very bad day. I never touch whiskey or its derivatives, my theory is that brown is the cause of hangovers.
A former partner in a law firm (who had a known John Barleycorn problem) was once asked if he ever had too much too drink, to which he answered, "Never too much, sometimes just too close together". That is how I perceive the world...

I did Chinese New Years dinner with family. My long lost cousin was there. He lives in Manhattan.

He drinks a lot. He brought a bottle of Grey Goose to dinner. He poured it into the tea cups. I sipped some. It was friggen surprisingly smooth. Almost sweet; perfumed almost. I passed on anymore than just a taste. The dude was drinking two inch deep glass fulls soon. He kept it together

He wants me to visit him in Manhattan. I will soon. I’ll watch my intake. Hehe.

He wants me to drive his Bentley. . He is a bit of a show off.

Eww, even the thought of vodka makes me feel ill.

[Nickshu]

Thats funny...Vodka and Tequila both give me a horrible hangover.

Gin and Whiskey give me no hangover at all.

I guess everyone is different.

That's no act my friend.

Ex-Mrs Beard liked vodka over ice with a muddled Orange. She was ~105 lbs and used to drink 9-12 oz a night, unchecked.

Vodka and Irish Whiskey are triple distilled. This removes impurities that lead to hangovers (or at least that is what the person at the Middleton distillery told us on the tour).

My experience is the same. Burbon = hangover. Vodka hardly ever. Irish whiskey somewhere in between.

You have to actually quit drinking to get a hangover. Remember, "you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning".

Sam Kinneson (spelling?) had one of my favorite lines: "I've quit drinking for over a hundred days. Just not all in a row."

Or Dean Martin: "I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they get out of bed in the morning, that's the best they are going to feel all day."

I gave away all my booze about six months ago as I was not drinking it, kept one bottle of vodka though.

About once a month I have one drink, more like a double on the rocks with a wedge of Meyer lemon squeezed in it.

The big bottle of cheap vodka half empty I gave away would give me a headache after one drink, I think it went bad. My buddy that took it from me said it was fine.

Two days ago another friend gave me a small bottle of vodka from Kazakhstan, I'm curious to try it, but it can wait 2-3 weeks until I feel like I'm in the mood.

Vodka is my weapon of choice. Except for when we're in the tropics, and then it's rum. Gauro when in Costa Rica. I can consume unholy quantities of any of the above, and suffer no ill effects the next day. Whiskey, scotch, bourbon are all on the no-go list.

Folks we need to cut this guy off now. Tough love like. He's having trouble handling his zimas and smirnoff ices.

Tabs, the world is like a buffet at golden corral. You never know what you're going to get...

I have the cheapest bottle of vodka. $4.99 at Trader Joe’s. I think I bought it for penne vodka sauce. It is so bad. It messed up my sauce.

I keep it in my garage now. We put it in a spray bottle and use it fir a disinfectant. Bleech

Potato based vodka is much less likely to give you a hangover.
If you ever want to step you brand of vodka up a level or even 2 ... Try filtering it through a britta water filter.
I do some distilling (mostly so I can make my infusions) and the filter really cleans it up. the cost of filtering is a big part of the price you pay for different brands of vodka.
