The sayings go: "Beer before wine and you'll feel fine; wine before beer and you'll feel queer," or "Grape or grain but never the twain," but a new study has debunked the popular wisdom on hangovers.
Researchers primarily at Germany's University of Witten/Herdecke wanted to verify the sayings, which also exist in German and other languages, by conducting scientific tests on drinkers.
The results: It does not matter in which order you drink beer and wine, your hangover is equally as bad. Too much alcohol is too much alcohol, the team wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published on Friday.
