I thought that was quite well-known - the darker the liquid the worse the hangover? Something like that. Anyway, vodka's for people who don't like the taste of alcohol.
The last time I had a lot of whisky - staying up till 4am, knocking off most of a bottle with my brother- I felt groggy the next morning, but not really worse than that - no headache, for eg. Maybe the little bottles of NZ beer we drank between glasses of whisky made all the difference.
The last wine (red) hangover I had was horrible. Lasted all day. I watched The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, which is a dam' good hangover film.

Whisky works it's way out through your pores too! It's weird - You just get these metallicy whiffs through the day. Of course, Liver has a metallicy flavour to it - so this is obviously your liver having a damn good whinge at the treatment you've just put it through!  |

Whisky is my favourite spirit tipple.
The worst hangover I've ever suffered was after a party we threw when we first got married. I was drinking copious amounts of scotch all evening and after waving the last people goodbye, I fell asleep on the sofa and Mr. E. couldn't wake me up. He carried me upstairs (those were the days when I was thin), banging my head on the wall at every alternate stair. He threw me on the bed, undressed me (apparently thought "hmmmm" then decided that wasn't a gentlemanly thing to do), and didn't (couldn't, to be fair) remove my contact lenses.
The next morning I woke up with the hangover from hell. I could barely open my eyes because they were so sore from having the (hard) contact lenses in all night. I swore, like we all do, never to drink again.
Ha!
The scary thing is that I have absolutely no memory of all that taking place. I was literally dead to the world.

I was reading somewhere of someone who has the rule that (it might even have been here which would be embarrassing) of never to put anything into the body that isn't a colour that's in there already.

That goes without saying, Jean. Your artistocracy shines forth from you. ;D I occasionally have blue lips and teeth - but that's when I drink too much red wine. |

I sometimes get blue fingers, but that's Raynaud's. And its usually more like purple, anyway.

Yes, I suffer from that too - I didn't know what it was until one day I had to undress at a surgery and the doctor got quite concerned at my blue knees! After the purple, fingers and toes go white; it is quite fun to get into a hot bath and see the colour returning through the spectrum until they emerge bright pink. Buti f we should not put any colour into our bodies that isn't there already, it seems to rule out green vegetables. |

ARF! How lovely to hear from you.
Jean, no, I'm happy to say I've never seen my gall bladder. Unless you are my radiologist, neither have you.
