Prosecco Hangover

27 replies

darex123 · 31/12/2019 19:37

Does anyone here get hangovers only from Prosecco - not from champagne, cava or other bubblys?

I just bought some organic prosecco and was told by my other half any prosecco was unacceptable as it causes hangovers - regardless if it was organic or not.

Prosecco is made by a slightly different method - the charmat method - so I suppose in theory it might cause a hangover that champagne wouldn't but I am very dubious.

One thought is that champagne is typically shared by larger groups so you tend to drink less of it ...

Any help on this appreciated!

I don't know but I had the worst headache the other day after a night of prosecco.... Not even sure I can bare to have any tonight!

TheTrollFairy · 31/12/2019 19:42

Many hangovers from Prosecco (I get hangovers just looking at any alcohol tho)

Namechanger23455 · 31/12/2019 19:43

I get the worst hangovers from Prosecco 🙈

SlightlyStaleCocoPops · 31/12/2019 19:44

In before 100 posts about how disgusting and common prosecco is.

Zofloramummy · 31/12/2019 19:45

Prosecco = hangover, every time.

Beansprout30 · 31/12/2019 19:57

I’ve not had a hangover from Prosecco yet, perhaps I’m not drinking enough Grin red wine on the other hand... argh. Maybe drink water in between that always helps me

missyB1 · 31/12/2019 20:13

Yep absolutely every time. Used to drink champagne (before kids when we had money), never got hangovers with that. I miss champagne.

OhMsBeliever · 31/12/2019 20:23

I have but I get hangovers if I drink too much of anything, worse if I mix drinks. I am usually good at knowing my limit and stopping. Also drink water with it (not in it!)

I don't drink champagne or cava though so no idea if they'd be different.

LadyTiredWinterBottom2 · 31/12/2019 20:25

I enjoy prosecco but l only get a hangover if l've drank a cheaper bottle. Same with cheap white wine. Doesn't stop me drinking it every now and then though Grin

CathyorClaire · 31/12/2019 20:26

Worst hangovers I've had have been selfchampagne inflicted.

Don't normally drink Prosecco but it would never surprise me if it had a similar effect.

SayNoToCarrots · 31/12/2019 20:31

I prefer cava and champagne to prosecco, but i've never had a hangover from any of them.

beela · 31/12/2019 20:35

I had a truly horrific hangover from prosecco about a year ago. I literally couldn't move. It was so bad that I haven't been drunk or even tipsy since.

However.... I suspect it was more due to the quantity consumed than the drink itself.

CooCooCoo · 31/12/2019 20:35

I’m actually pretty safe on prosecco so it’s my drink of choice

EagerBeaverWins · 31/12/2019 20:39

Yes! Prosecco gives me the worst headache, even if not drunk too much overall. I stick to Cava now for fizz, much kinder the next morning

CountFosco · 31/12/2019 20:51

Worst hangover I ever had was on champagne. Started drinking after lunch, ended up in a delightful Glasgow nightclub called Clatty Pat's far too early in the evening and was in bed by 10pm. I mayhave vomitted.

Auridon4life · 31/12/2019 20:56

I think its something to do with the sulphites.

Rosebel · 31/12/2019 21:03

Proseco doesn't affect me but maybe I don't drink enough😁. On the other hand red wine does and tequila is an absolute killer. Can't drink it at all now.

PumpkinPie2016 · 31/12/2019 21:10

I'm a lightweight anyway but I find one glass of prosecco goes straight to my head and I always feel rough the next day.

I don't drink much usually anyway but last night, had 3 halves of cider and felt fine this morning whereas 3 glasses of prosecco would leave me feeling awful.

delilahbucket · 31/12/2019 21:16

Guaranteed headache if I drink too much prosecco. Not affected by anything else though.

MissGuernsey · 31/12/2019 21:18

Does anyone get heartburn if they drink dark spirits? Slight sidetrack there but I just wondered?

user764329056 · 31/12/2019 21:27

Awful heartburn with Cava, not with any other drink

Rachelfromfriends1 · 31/12/2019 21:30

I also get slightly hungover if I mix drinks, never with Prosecco though! How much are you drinking??

To be honest I have had many party days so I probably have a high alcohol tolerance. It’s very rare that I get an actual hangover, think I’d need to consume like over 10 units a night

Leafyhouse · 31/12/2019 21:31

Thing is, I like Prosecco. So I drink more of it. And then get hangovers. What I really need is a £50k research grant to find out why.

maddy68 · 06/01/2020 18:40

I drink champagne regularly a d never get a hangover. Two glasses of prosecco and I will have a stinker

simplekindoflife · 06/01/2020 18:42

Prosecco hates me! I get a hangover during the actual drinking of it. Horrible stuff!
