60秒科学:Lighter Drinks Avoid Heavy Head
Lighter 1 Drinks Avoid Heavy Head
A study in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research finds that lighter colored spirits, such as vodka, may cause lesser 2 hangovers than darker drinks, such as bourbon. Cynthia Graber reports
It’s the season for celebrating – and many of those celebrations include imbibing 3 alcohol. Which sometimes leaves us the next morning with uncomfortable reminders 4 of our excesses. But does what we drink—say bourbon versus 5 vodka—make a difference? Apparently 6 so, according to a study in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research.
Researchers enlisted 7 95 volunteers. Their sleep patterns were measured to make sure that lack of rest didn’t distort the results. Those who got drunk on bourbon reported worse hangovers—headaches, nausea 8 and general discomfort 9. And they performed worse on tasks that required careful attention for decision-making. They didn’t sleep any worse than vodka drinkers, though.
Here’s why bourbon might hurt more: many alcoholic 10 beverages 11 contain byproducts of fermentation called congeners, complex organic compounds that in large doses can have toxic 12 effects. And darker distilled 13 drinks and wines generally have more of these congeners than do lighter ones. Bourbon, in fact, has 37 times more than vodka does. Which, the researchers note, may add to the hangover effect. So if you’re worried about a dark hangover cloud in the morning, maybe stick to lighter drinks tonight.
