One thing they didn’t tell us — does the presence of the congeners affect the rate at which the alcohol itself wears off?

This study is worthless as long as it didn't observe the result on people who drink bourbon and vodka in order to even things out.

I’ll stick with bourbon. It’s American, I enjoy the taste of good bourbon, and I don’t drink enough to worry about after affects.

I had always heard that it’s better to drink clear alcohols. Less hangover. Brown alcohols were said to have more pollutants. I do love me some Captain Morgan’s, though. But Stoli is just as good.

impairment in people's next-day task performance is about the same for both bourbon and vodka which is why we should all be drinking gin
To: Pharmboy
Well duh! Vodka is in essence, grain alcohol and water with a completely neutral flavor. It can have other flavorings added (the Russians used to enjoy paper-flavored vodka...look it up...), while bourbons and whiskeys by their very nature and because of the presence of these “congeners” have a distinct flavor.
In addition, most of the unfavorable elements found in raw whiskey are reduced by absorption in the charcoal that lines the barrels the liquor is aged in. A lot of commercial whiskey is also filtered through more charcoal before bottling.
Grain alcohol is one of the first “value added” products that man came up with, and is an excellent way to concentrate the value of a bushel of grain in a valuable and useful product. Brewed beer was once a medicinal substance, and was even considered to be blessed in ancient times, because it was Monks who figured out how to brew, and since they boiled their mash, the product was much cleaner (and therefore healthier) for drinking than the local water...
The author can badmouth demon alcohol all he wants but the basic concept that the products he is complaining about are either largely absent from the final modern product, or are there deliberately to provide flavor.
Brew science is a very complex subject, and anyone who practices that hobby would be glad to discuss the subject with this egghead, and at least try to convert him with a proper beverage or two...

"First, while alcohol in the beverage did increase how hung-over people reported feeling the next morning compared to drinking a placebo,
OK I went to yet another Christmas party last night so maybe my brain isn't fully functioning but how do you give a person a placebo for alcohol without the person knowing it? And if the subject knows they are getting a placebo what's the point in giving it to him/her?

For some reason I prefer vodka - less of a hangover. Maybe it goes back to a run-in I once had with Jack Daniels.....
