A hangover refers to the unpleasant physiological consequences of consuming a high quantity of alcohol or drugs. The more alcohol a person consumes, the more likely they will have a hangover the following day. Congeners, which are used to give alcoholic beverages their flavor, contribute to a hangover's severity. The darker colored alcohols, like whiskey, brandy and red wine, contain more congeners in comparison to the lighter alcohols, like vodka and gin.MayoClinic.com: Hangovers: Causes
