Do screwdrivers (vodka and orange juice) give bad hangovers?
There are some hang over symptoms that are in your power to avoid. #1 – One of the major reasons for a hangover is the amount of impurities in the alcohol. So NEVER drink CHEAP Vodka. Read the labels & find one that has been distilled at least more than one time. (It may say, “Triple Distilled.”) Each distillation removes more of the impurities. #2 – Don’t chug your drinks. Drink slowly allowing your body the time to metabolize the alcohol. Why do you think people get into so much trouble from “shooter?” It’s b/c they are drinking faster than they can realize that they are drunk. #3 – Dehydration. Even though you are “drinking,” it requires a lot of liquid to process that alcohol. A good rule of thumb is to have one Screw Driver & then have them fill your next glass full of ice water. Mixed drink, water & repeat. These 3 things will help ease or even avoid a hang-over. Fattening? Yes. Most orange juices are from concentrate so they add sugar when reconstituting them back into juice. I
