As alcohol is the cause of hangovers, the excessive consumption of any type of alcoholic beverage, will cause a hangover. Even low-point beer, which has a lower alcohol content, will cause a hangover if you drink too much.
If you consume alcohol faster than it can be metabolized by your liver, the risk of a hangover increases.
Darker drinks such as whiskey, red wine, tequila or cognac cause worse hangovers. White wine, beer and clear drinks such as vodka or gin are less harmful. However, this doesn't mean that gin or vodka won't cause a hangover. As we mentioned previously, all alcoholic beverages cause hangovers when consumed in excessive amounts.
