Have you found an alcoholic drink that leaves you hangover free?

I don’t really drink much anymore , really don’t like the hangover but I miss having a glass of something of a Friday or Saturday night to relax. What are your go to drinks , just for 1 or 2, which don’t leave you knowing you’ve drank it the next day?

I get hangovers very easily but have recently discovered what works for me. A small glass of decent quality wine every 1-2 nights. I use a vacuum bottle stop so it keeps fresh for much longer. I’ve also joined a wine club so I get 3 bottles a month and they’re all interesting and good quality. So I really look forward to my glass and get to try new things. I never feel the need to have two because I’m not denying myself - I know I can have another tomorrow.

Dry martini with lashings of lemonade

Gin for me. I steer clear of Prosecco - it's pumped so full of sugar to speed up the fermentation it causes me such a bad crash/hangover. Although I will never give up aperol spritz!

I find that vodka & a neutral mixer or spritzers are best for not causing hangovers.

Unfortunately, I much prefer red wine, hoppy ales & weissbier. Oh well...

I drank quantities of Red Bull and vodka at a friend's party once and was surprised not to have a hangover next day as I'd been pretty tiddly.

I agree with Aldis organic Prosecco/wine

Another vote for Aldi's Organic Pinot Grigio or Prosecco. A revelation, no hangover even when I may have over done it drank the whole bottle Confused

But she very wrong.

Gah! You are mixing. You need to treat tequila as a stand alone: mix with neither grape nor grain!
Honestly; you'll float through the next day half awake and then the next day it will be as if nothing ever happened!

1 or 2 drinks of anything wouldn't leave me feeling hungover.

Vodka. Gin if I can stick to no more than 3 or 4.

Problem is once I've drunk enough to risk a hangover I stop worrying about getting one Hmm

Vodka does not give me hangovers, just a slightly gassy belly Grin

Bulmers, the bottles are large so one is more than enough but it's like drinking a fizzy drink that relaxes you.

@ODFOx

Oh I stood alone. As I vomited myself into oblivion.

MNHQ - please remove ODfox posts as they are a danger to humanity.

Tequila is bad. So very very bad.

Some of the hangover is caused by dehydration, so drinking lots of water or highly diluting the alcohol is helpful.

This thread just goes to show what an individual thing it is. I don’t drink any more, but gin gave me a headache after two G&Ts (before I’d even gone to bed) and a terrible hangover the next day, and tequila?! Urgh!! The worst hangovers I’ve ever had.

I could guzzle champagne without too much ill effect, and found vodka or white rum the least bad of the spirits.

It’s a lot more fun being teetotal though Grin.

G&T. Much as I love wine, I do suffer afterwards.

I have to drink early and then stop, so I'm almost totally sober before I go to bed.

Spirits and I'm usually pretty okay. If I drink too much wine then I'm pretty bad.
