Little Water

I would like to impart my wisdom to you lovely folks who haven’t taken the time to explore alcohol, headaches and vodka in detail.

Chance of headache:
High : Red wine and Brandy.
Medium : Rum and Whisky (dark liquors in general)
Low : Scotch, Vodka/Gin (clear liquors), and Sauterne or Riesling wines

Now, vodka or little water(vod is water in Russian) is a very very purified form of alcohol and has little or no taste of alcohol typically. So it tends to be distilled a lot of times and hence avoids most impurities and also taste.

Headaches after a night out on the town is not only because of the impurities (congeners/sulphide preservatives or whatever else) but also because of dehydration caused by alcohol. So it is essential to drink water to avoid the dehydration part of it. In fact each time I go to pee which is normally a couple times, I drink one glass of water at a bar. I always get back home and down at least a sandwich at a minimum in addition to the water intake. A diet gone off a bit is any day better than a headache.

Some of the interesting cures that I have read about for headaches related to alcohol intake include more alcohol and sex. Apparently sex can release chemicals to vaguely counteract the effect or at least distract you a bit.

I drink mostly Vodka based drinks since I can't stand the taste of alcohol and vodka and gin both work well for that.

Popular drinks that I like:
Vodka cranberry
Cosmo(politan) – I think its vodka, cranberry, orange and lime juice.
Apple martini – vodka plus apple of some sort maybe.

So my choice comes down now to the brands of vodka available on the market now.

Skyy – claims to be the purest and hence best for concerns of headaches, American.
Grey Goose – expensive, smooth taste, French.
Absolute – Swedish
Smirnoff -
Stolichnaya - Russian

So from next time on I am gonna ask for Skyy!
