clear alcohol=less hangover
edit: I may just be making that up, I can't remember.

No, it's true! Congeners give liquor color, flavor, and hangoverness. The darker liquors have more of the bastids.

I know I can get smashed from Bacardi 151 (maybe 8 shots in the course of the evening), and not have a hangover the next day, aside from the "just got off the boat" feeling.

Not really, I cut high fruchtose corn syrup out, I hate soda, so no big loss there, the issue came
about with my vodka, u see even juice has corn syrup, pretty much every god damn
thing you buy has it. So I've been going with POM juice and cranberry juice, which rocks really as the vodka and cranberry cancel each other out, so i can drink as much as i want. i'm gonna pitch that to the doctor you see.

cutting corn syurp out of your diet really does work. i went about 6 weeks trying to cut anything that was overly greasy or had corn syurp in it and i lost about 15 pounds.

I don't get hangovers unless I drink about a fifth of whatever. I can have 8 or 9 crown and cokes and be fine the next morning.
I am gonna try this clear alcohol stuff. I guess I will go with vodka. But I do however like Gin and cran juice.

Yea it would be nice if it worked that way, i prolly already eat less HFCS then most, but **** you'd be amazed how hard it is to find foods without it. Even cranberry juice, only a couple actually have none. I'm more or less doing it in an attempt to live a little healthier and maybe add a few days onto this ride. Well anyhow i couldnt give up drinkin so i had to give up the corn syrup

I can't drink grapefruit, there's a big warning label on one of my medications, apparently it cancels out the meds... no shitin, my doctor warned me too. What i wanna know is why it's just grapefruit, why not oranges.

'Cause oranges are orange and grapefruits aren't?
Actually, grapefruit can have a number of interactions with drugs, often increasing the effective potency of compounds. Grapefruit contains naringin, bergamottin and dihydroxybergamottin, which inhibit the cytochrome P450 isoform CYP3A4 in the intestine. It is via inhibition of this enzyme that grapefruit increases the effects of buspirone (Buspar), carbamazepine, several statin drugs (such as simvastatin), terfenadine, felodipine, nifedipine, verapamil, estradiol, tacrolimus, dextromethorphan (significant only at recreational doses), benzodiazepines, and ciclosporin. The effect of grapefruit juice with regard to drug absorption was originally discovered in 1989. However, the effect became well-publicized after being responsible for a number of deaths due to overdosing on medication.
