Do foreign beers give you a hangover?!


Question: When I drink domestic beers, the next day I wake up with a big hangover. When I drink European beers, I might get drunk, but the next day, I will not feel a hangoever. Do domestic beers have that much chemicals in them? Have you notice there is a difference the day after if you drink a foreign beer vs a domestic?

Not at all, but then I gave up getting drunk on beer when I was younger.

Part of the hangover is the dehydration you get from trying to metabolise alcohol. The other part is due to the chemicals and additives they put in it. The more crap there is in it, the worse you feel the next day.

I find that beers that don't use additives simply taste better than those from the big commercial breweries anyway.

there is no difference in "chemicals". the beer styles are different. American lagers have a lot less malt in them compared to styles from Europe. So you are drinking more water and less sugars/malt in big domestic beers. Hangover is caused by dehydration. Drink more water with less carbs in your system to soak it up, your body will have to get rid of it. Domestic beers are probably less alcohol so you have to drink more which compounds the pee effect so you lose more water and feel more hungover. drink water before you go to bed. but it's probably just in your head.

European beer is far superiour, they have less chemicals as the major ones have been made to the same reciepts for hundreds of years - before they started making chemical beers........

a

it depends on the beer you drinking im in new zealand and i drink all kinda beers,loving the uk ones trust me as long as its got heeps of explaning on the label..naturally brewed beers wont give you hangover.

There are no "chemical additives" even in the worst of worst beers. Anybody who wants to challenge that can feel free to post whatever "dangerous" chemicals it is that are giving them hangovers, I guarantee they're safe and probably beneficial to the beer.

Theoretically all beer is going to give you more or less the same hangover when drank under the same conditions. Some beer has a higher quantity of B vitamins in it which helps you regulate water usage and thus curbs dehydration and therefore a hangover but the effect is pretty negligible. It is possible that you have an allergy to hops and given that some beers have a higher quantity of hops in them I think it is possible that you could be experiencing some degree of a allergic reaction although I find it highly unlikely.

The simple fact of the the matter is that when you cluster "domestic" beers and "European" beers together like that you're probably referring to commercial beers and the reality is that Budweiser and Heineken are no different in terms of quality. If you were talking about Coors Light vs. Conistan's Blue Bird Bitter then maybe you would be on to something.
