Answers:
It's all about the sugar hon! Beer has a lot more stuff in it that turns to sugar as you digest it!.!.!. barley, malt, hops!.!.!. they all turn to pure sugar, along with the alcohol!. Sugar, combined with alcohol can seriously dehydrate you!. The headache is actually the blood vessels in your head spasming to move your sluggish blood from being dried up due to the alcohol consumption!. Want to have your 15 pints and NOT have the big head the next morning!?!?!? Take 4 Advils (NOT TYLENOL! It can damage your liver with all that alcohol!), a multivitamin and drink a quart of water before bed and you should be worlds better!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

SoCo is liqueurs and contain roughly half the alcohol by volume of a standard 5% beer!. Sambuca has just slightly alcohol than your standard beer!. Goldschlager contains slightly more!.!.!.don't know about that one!.

Southern Comfort is 21% ABV
Sambuca is 38% ABV
Goldschlager 43% ABV

Anyway, with SoCo and Sambuca you are getting less actual alcohol!.

SoCo, standard serving size 1!.5 oz:

Serving ABV Actual Ethanol
1!.5 x 0!.21 = 0!.315

Sambuca:

1!.5 x 0!.38 = 0!.57

5% Beer:

12 oz x 0!.05 = 0!.6Www@FoodAQ@Com

theres a lot of liquid in 15 pints imagine drinking 15 pints of coke!? you would feel sick!.!.!. and then there is all the alcohol
there is a lot more alcohol in 15 pints than 15 southern and lemonades and the pints would be metabilising for hours after you went to sleep
and beer has lots of preservative in it that makes you feel like **** try drinking beer bottled in Germany less crap in itWww@FoodAQ@Com

Change your beer!.
I don't get hangovers!. Just tiredness from staying up all night, and dehydration from the alcohol (drink a lot before you crash out)!. Anything else is impurities in the drink!.
I have had a few raging headaches from beers I now avoid, sometimes before I even stopped drinking for the night!.
By the way, SC is my favourite tipple too, but I have it on the rocks as a treat!. Usually just neck back bottles of TsingTao beer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

15 pints!? dude, try drinking less!. That would be binge drinking at its finest!. You'd probably have the same problem if you ate 15 loafs of bread!.

It's probably just the way your body processes the ingredients of the drink!. Usually, the stuff with the high sugar content like Southern Comfort will cause the hangover!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Down our way, we call Southern Comfort a good night out with a girl from Bognor!. You wake up the next morning out of your head although you haven't had a drink!. It has the same affect as booze but is more enjoyable!. If only you could remember it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think it specifically related to the strength of the alcohol!. Beer contain lots of other crap that dehydrates the body and causes hangovers!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

because it probably has less alcoholWww@FoodAQ@Com
