Im going home Donny Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 .....hope this is o.k. of me.... My question is......does beer on tap lead to worse hangovers and if so....why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 It might, but IMHO the other factors (e.g., water consumption, the type of beer [dark vs. light], other drinks, etc.) far outweigh any difference. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Musicface Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 If you can find it on tap, Fin du monde from the great Quebec brewer Unibroue has provided a number of the worst hangovers I've personally had. The reason - it's so smooth and tasty going down that it's incredibly easy to forget that it's 9%! Peace, Mr. M. P.S. Hey Dr. Hux, hope you found the bottle I left in your fridge after we crashed at your place - oh, what the hell am I talking about, it was probably gone 15 minutes after we drove off (ya friggin' lush.)

Northern Wish Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 My understanding of that issue is that there is carbon dioxide used in the process that leads to a greater occurence of headaches the next day.... Also I've been told that some bars don't clean the lines that run from the kegs to the taps often enough and that the CO2 builds up this way adding to the problem. Maybe so, maybe not.

Ms.Huxtable Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 I dunno, but I'm pretty sure draft beer causes gas. Oh and QotDs are welcome by anyone, anytime. I am no one special (but don't tell my dad please). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im going home Donny Posted March 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 ...ah co2....hadn't cosidered that....I have thought mabey it's about sugar build up in dirty lines....also just getting more beer in a pint could be it. There's been a few times that I have only had 2 pints and then had crazy,bad hangovers after? Mabey I'm allergic...gasp.....I won't accept that. A friend said she thought avoiding beers w/preservatives is the way to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had that happen, and referred to it as a "hangunder": you feel like crap because you didn't drink enough the night before. If you're going to feel lousy the next morning, you should have at least had fun the night before, otherwise the universe's good/bad totals get out of whack. quote: A friend said she thought avoiding beers w/preservatives is the way to go? I think this is the way to go whenever possible, mostly because beers made without preservatives, to me, taste better (and certainly have more taste). If you go to the Arrow & Loon, try some of their hand-pumped ("real") ales. (And if anybody wants to go, but hasn't, and isn't sure about going, let me know, and we'll arrange a group night out there. ) Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that the sun is shining more, and summer is within reasonable proximity, I'll give a shout-out to perhaps the ultimate patio beer: Blanche de Chambly...made with wheat, flavoured with orance and coriander...give me a pint and place to park, and let the afternoon roll by... I'm a big fan of Unibroue beers; FdM is great, Maudite is a killer, too. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevO Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 Draft beer definitely leads to way worse hangovers than bottled beer! Theres no question, IMO. I don't know why though-- the co2 thing sounds right. Something to do with the carbonation for sure I bet. NERO TONIGHT! I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieDon'tSurf Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 as mr. wish wisely said, its all in the lines and the bubbly nuthins... but what the hell...anyways, snooting beer is very cumbersome, so one must live with the draught...

arcane Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 Duvel is also pretty strong, and to my taste, it's smoother than Fin du Monde. Oh those evil, evil trappist monks ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoMack Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 What about Irish beers? Aren't they carbonated differently then others (ie. not C02 at all but something else?) And which is worse for a hang over, light or dark? And why would that be? I've made beer before, and generally the ingredients are the same, just different proportions. Maybe malt has less sugar and more colour then striaght adjunct making dark beer less dehydrating??? No idea on this but very curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 To truly avoid beer-induced hangovers, it's best to drink poetic beer. For example, the Brother From Another Country sent me some Asahi fridge magnets in this year's birthday missive. quote:On Fridge Magnet the First: If there is a silver can on a refrigerator, she is in a good mood. Amber liquid penetrates deeply into the body that got tired. She laughed with a white mustache. quote:On Fridge Magnet the Second: I have felt wind. I know the earth. I love rain. I remember light. I live to best of my ability. Because make the people of the whole world happy. Those are exact [sic]-worthy quotes. If you've ever seen the "Mr. Sparkle" Simpsons episode and wondered whether it was an accurate portrayal of Japanese product slogans / advertising, rest assured that it was.

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 a friend of mine brought my old household some gifts from Japan....the most confusing ones were the plastic packaged small panties from a vending machine. One had a couple little Jeremy/Jerry Bear hybrid with this text: "The Bears is fond of English" hmmm apparently not toooo fond... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
