If reds give you a bad hangover, try whites. Whites do not have the tannins in them that trigger massive headaches in some people. Unfortunately, it is the tannins in reds that are supposed to be good for you.

Or so I've heard. : )

no, no, no.

When I was younger (and an inexperienced wine drinker) I had the WORST hangover with a Blue Nun white wine. Never again. They tend to be sweeter too, that contributes to one.

Like GVnana says it's the combination of sugar, dehydration, and depletion of B vitamins (one reason why drinks like "Red Bull" are popular with the drinking crowd)...and of course moderation which will determine the usual course of hangover...or not.

In the meantime, I'll stick to the reds. They have antioxidants.

Medicinal reasons, you know!
