First Law of Drinking

I had a brainstorm this weekend about drinking. I'm sure i'm not the first to think of this, but i did think of it on my own and that makes me happy.

Here it is:
First Law of Drinking: Learn to enjoy the taste of alcohol.

I get hung over when i drink beer, or when I drink sweet or fruity mixed drinks, or when I drink wine.

I don't get hung over when I drink hard liquor mixed with (preferably) water or otherwise just sugar-free drinks like my much-loved diet coke.

It's the sugar and other impurities that lead to hang overs. A straight whiskey or vodka or non-spiced rum, i think just about anything in the 80-proof range, and keep it away from sugar, and you'll be set.

Thus endeth the lesson.
