Study demystifies the sayings of hangover | Eastern Riverina Chronicle

The lyrics say: "Beer before wine and you will feel good, wine before beer and you will feel strange", or "Grape or grain but never the difference", but a new study has debunked the popular wisdom about hangovers. Researchers mainly from the German University of Witten / Herdecke wanted to check the comments, which also exist in German and other languages, by carrying out scientific tests on drinkers. The results: No matter in which order you drink beer and wine, your hangover is just as bad. Too much alcohol is too much alcohol, the team wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published Friday. "We have clearly shown that the saying is wrong, at least for white wine and lager," says medical scientist Kai Hensel, who led the experiment in Witten. Hensel's research team divided about 90 volunteers aged 19 to 40 into three groups. The task was the same for everyone: to get drunk properly, namely a blood alcohol level of 1.1 milligrams per liter. The members of the first group drank only beer, those of group 2 only wine. All those who had reached a blood alcohol level of about 0.5% were switching to the other drink, on average after 1.5 liters of beer or four large glbades of wine. The members of the third group spent the whole evening drinking the same glbad, either beer or wine. The second night, the drinkers then changed group. The evaluation revealed that the order of consumption did not matter for the extent of the hangover, any more than bad, weight or habits of consumption in general. Australian Associated Press
