Do you want to curb some of the awful hangovers that come with the festive celebrations this time of year?
Hangovers differ not only depending on how much you drink, but also the type of drink you decide to opt for that evening.
Mulled wine is a yearly festive favourite, but sadly makes you feel worse for wear than some other drinks because it's a sweet choice that can cause fatigue and dizziness the next day because of fluctuating blood sugar.
Whereas tequila apparently causes no hangover due to the process behind making the Mexican tipple.
Here, Femail's Lizzie May provides the inside information you need to know what drink will cause you what symptoms of your hangover the next day.
DARK SPIRITS: MUSCLE ACHES AND SEVERE NAUSEA
Dr Zenon Andreou, a GP and online doctor for Asda Online Doctor by ZAVA, said that by drinking a lighter spirit like vodka, gin and light beers, you are consuming less congeners with each glass.
Congeners are a by-product of the fermentation process that goes into making darker drinks like dark rum and whiskey, red wine and brandy.
With 15 years of experience sourcing, trading, and learning about wine and spirits, Steve King, managing director at Bottled and Boxed, an online alcohol retailer, said that these darker spirits can prolong your symptoms of a hangover because your body has to break down both the alcohol and the congeners.
Congeners have been known to make symptoms such as headaches, muscle aches and nausea more severe.
Dr Andreou added that they can be toxic, which mfeans they interfere with your body's cell functions, hindering the body's ability to repair itself the next morning.
RED WINE: HEADACHES
Red wine headache is a type of hangover specific to red wines, with some people experiencing nausea and migraines within just 15 minutes of drinking a glass.
The darker wine has natural substances called tyramine and histamine which can cause the restrictions of blood vessels in the body, leaving you with a headache in the morning, says Dr Andreou.
He added: 'These substances are sometimes up to 200 per cent higher in red wine than white wine, which is why you might feel worse after a night of drinking red.
Kerry Beeson, Nutritional Therapist at Optibac Probiotics said organic red wine might be a better alternative.
She said: 'Alcohol can reduce friendly bacteria levels in our gut
