Beer before wine, or wine before beer; whatever the order, you’ll feel queer. That, at least, is the updated aphorism drinkers will have to embrace now scientists have proved that drink order has no effect on the magnitude of one’s hangover.
Under carefully-controlled lab conditions, British and German researchers plied 90 volunteers with beer and wine to find out once and for all whether hangovers are worsened by the order in which drinks are necked.
The participants reeled off a rich list of hangover symptoms and about one in ten threw up. But the results, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, showed that the order drinks were consumed in had no impact on “hangover intensity”.
Well, I have to admit, I have no personal experience of this. It's rare for me to have more than one alcoholic drink in quick succession, and even when I do, it's usually all wine or all beer, and not a mix of the two.
Though, I don't know where this idea of "Beer before wine is fine" came from: it is just because it rhymes? If so, I expect a lot of people probably will feel better when drinking beer before wine - but only due to the placebo effect .
