It summer and for me that means getting to get with my bestie and have a night in drinking. The worst part of drinking is the hang over the next day. Did you know some alcohols will make yo more hungover than others, or cause you to do to thing you might not normally do. For me tequila is the worst for me unless i can get my hands on some Patron, when my budget says it okay. haha I usually turn to Tito's as my go to liquor. It cheaper but good, and as long as I remember to hydrate I'm in for a good night. But i just found out that my two favorite go to liquors are the most likely to cause hangovers. This explain a lot of past bad mornings.
Tequila and vodka are the top two, that cause the worst hangovers, of course, followed by whisky, rum and gin. And if that wasn't enough, vodka drinkers are most likely to get naked in public, or get a tattoo after drinking. Thankfully I have kept my clothes on public, but I did get a tattoo once after a couple of drink. No regrets though, I got a dragonfly!
If tequila is more your thing you might be a pyro. you're more likely to set something on fire if you have tequila. Now, I don't know about you but (I'm feeling 22,haha jk) but I love a good fire. There is usually one going if im drinking at home, we have a huge for pit, but i'll burn anything no matter what I'm drinking. Good news for you though is the only alcohol that an upper, not a downer so it can put you in a good mood. No wonder I like it so much.
Dark liquors are not my cup of tea, it never ends well but at least I've never gotten arrested. For for lovers of whiskey, you're most likely to get arrested compared to drinking other liquors.
This info has given me a different perspective on drinking but I wont lie I've never best at hold my liquor. I tend to go for mixed drinks may a nice tequila sunrise, margarita or vodka cranberry. I'm basic. That being said all alcohol has its good and bad points, but everything in moderation is best. That's not just a saying for no reason.
Like I said I can't hold my liquor and my stomach hates beer it never sits well. But I do love to enjoy a cider now an again. For the longest time angry orchards were my jam but the sugar was becoming too much for me.I went looking for something that had no sugar. My friend turned me onto Truly's but that was too carbonated for my stomach, I have acid reflux so i make me burp, well belch actually, like crazy; which is kinda funny. I wasn't giving up the search for the perfect drink for me and thanks to that ol' reliable, Google. I discovered Crook & Marker. They make spike seltzers like the others but they also have spike tea and lemonade. They are SO GOOD! The teas are me favorite but the best part,imo, is both of them are made with NO SUGAR and there's NO CARBONATION! I highly recommend them!
So my advice to you is pick you poison carefully. Don't forget about water! My one fault is not drinking enough water though. That is my number one tip. Also, remember to eat a good meal before you decide to have a night of drinking. Eat like its your last meal of you know you're getting crunk. Then at the end of the night take some Advil before bed, NOT Tylenol. After a night of drinking you liver can't process the acetaminophen in Tylenol which could cause liver damage. Also avoid aspirin too because it could cause an upset stomach.
And most importantly drink responsibly!!
Love ya,
Steph
