Red wine. Never drink it these days, it just really doesn't agree with me.

I do t really get hangovers but cheap wine gives me indigestion from hell.

I am shocking with red wine. Have a headache before I have had half a glass. I love cava and never gives me a bad head. Gin I can drink gallons and don't seem to get drunk. I used to love alcopops and never ever had I had a problem mixing drinks. Seems to be just red wine with me.

Pretty much everything these days Hmm

JurassicGirl · 26/08/2018 22:24

Vodka & Red Wine (more than 1/2 glass) give me a terrible headache!

JustlikeDevon · 26/08/2018 22:30

Any new world wine. Anything oaky. Prosecco (devil's piss). Tequila. Rum. Anything mixed with coke (cola!). Anything mixed with slimline tonic. Stella.

Pimms!

I can drink whiskey etc by the bucket full and I am ok

Pimms makes me ill. Last time I drank it I threw up at 3am

We were in our caravan so not the ideal place.

And I wasn't even drunk!

bellsbuss · 26/08/2018 22:34

Gin but I love it , Port and also white wine

369thegoosedrankwine · 26/08/2018 23:02

Gin. Don't need to drink many to feel as though an axe is in my head the next morning. Don't drink it at all.

Prosecco and wine are not too bad for my head but terrible for my stomach the next morning. I love wine but it kills me.

I try to stick to vodka or Bacardi.

happymummy12345 · 26/08/2018 23:06

Nothing. I have such a high tolerance I have to drink a fair bit to get drunk or get a hangover.

userxx · 26/08/2018 23:15

Am really surprised at the amount of people saying gin. I've never had a hangover from it, but I do drink it in moderation.

Moonflower12 · 26/08/2018 23:18

White wine with the taste of dandelions! I feel the hangover starting as I take the 1st sip.

Oh and cheap whisky. Never.again.

SittHakim · 26/08/2018 23:21

Port. Almost never drink it because a single glass makes me feel dreadful before I even go to bed, and worse when I get up next morning.

tigercub50 · 26/08/2018 23:23

I’m teetotal but remember really suffering after a night on brandy - gave me bad dreams & hallucinations!

whensitmyturn · 26/08/2018 23:23

White wine definitely am fine with prosecco

Holidayshopping · 26/08/2018 23:30

White wine with the taste of dandelions

I have never had a white wine that tasted of dandelions!

originalusernamefail · 26/08/2018 23:31

All wine Sad. I can drink spirits like a fish with no consequences. It drives me crazy as it’s perfectly acceptable to crack open the wine after a hard day. Crack open the vodka and people worry Grin

Carrrotsandcauliflower · 26/08/2018 23:31

ANY wine, feel like I’ve been poisoned the next day.

PrimalLass · 26/08/2018 23:32

Mixing my drinks

CheeseAndOnionIceCream · 26/08/2018 23:37

Red red wine goes to my head

Charley50 · 27/08/2018 03:17

White wine red wine. Not so bad with prosecco.
Nowadays over two drinks of anything gives me an all day headache next day. Shock

Eminybob · 27/08/2018 03:34

Ironically enough, I have recently discovered that Becks Blue alcohol free beer gives me a massive hangover. And a headache while drinking it.

SnowBambino · 27/08/2018 03:42

White wine with the taste of dandelions!

Haha, I agree there’s a certain type of white wine that definitely is more likely to cause a headache! Usually served in crappy pubs and bars, slightly warm.

Not all gin, but homemade sloe gin gave me the worst headache. Sloe death we called it.

DoubleNegativePanda · 27/08/2018 03:44

Red wine. Before I've finished a glass I already have heartburn and the beginnings of a headache.

I can drink prosecco all day and earlier this month had ten shots of tequila without ill effect but a simple glass of red does me in.

PanicAtTheCostco · 27/08/2018 03:45

Cider, especially koppaberg :(
