Well, if you want the advice from this 'professional '( i.e. a recovering alcoholic) you'll drink vodka, our drink of choice nowadays, because the hangover from it is tolerable. This is because a bad hangover is not from the alcohol in a drink but the other ingredients, from which vodka is largely free.. Personally I could've done without the loss of job, health, money, family and friends, the constant feeling of panic and the dependency, not to mention the denial, that came from starting drinking as an 'answer', but nobody will stop you , if you are that determined. No problem dissolves in alcohol but you won't want to hear that ! AA will help anyone, even a 'beginner' to deal with this.Don't forget them if you ever do feel the drink taking over.
