Which is "better" for you--Whiskey or Vodka?!


Question: Which is "better" for you--Whiskey or Vodka!?
A friend of mine recently switched from being a whiskey drinker to being a vodka drinker, because he claims he read something that said vodka was healthier for you!. I have not been able to find any such claim, and was curious whether he was just bullcrapping me or notWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Well - saying one is better for you than the other is like saying one poison is better for you than the other!. There may be minor reasons why one has less undesirable effect than the other - but they are both going to kill you in the end!.

One reason someone might say that vodka is "better for you" is it has less Congeners!.

Congeners are toxic chemicals that are formed during fermentation, some liquors have more of them than others!. These congeners are widely responsible for headaches!. Simply put: The clearer your drinks, the less problems you will have the next morning!.

Vodka has the least congeners of all the commonly available liquors normally consumed in the US!.

But anyone who thinks they are somehow negating alcohols negative effects on the body by drinking one form or another - is fooling themselves!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

In a minimal sense of the word, vodka would probably be healthier!. Vodka, particularly higher-end vodkas, are distilled multiple times in order to remove ALL impurities possible!. In the sense that vodka is 'purer' than whiskey, which it is, it should thus be healthier!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

He is bull crapping you!. Vodka is crap, whiskey is much better!.!.!.neither one is more healthy!.!.!.each is 60 calories 0 carbs per ounce, and each can aid with digestion!. There's no difference 'cept for personal preference!.

I just happen to prefer Jack to Smirnoff!.!.!.it doesn't really matter tho!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i get terrible heart burn from vodka

so for me whiskey is better

fyi if it happens to you drink milk, if youre at a bar and they dont have milk take a shot of baileys!.!.!. it worksWww@FoodAQ@Com

It's the alcohol that is in question!. Both contain it, generally in equal amounts!. Neither is healthier!.
