7. Myth: Eating before you sleep can reduce your hangover.
You’ve probably made a few trips to your local pizza or frankie joint in the middle of the night, hoping that eating will prevent your hangover. Unfortunately, by the time the food hits your stomach, most of the alcohol has already been absorbed into your bloodstream. The greasy food may do more harm than good, because it can cause acidity on top of the dehydration your system is already facing.
8. Myth: The older the wine, the better.
Some of the best wines are hundreds of years old, but many wines are intended to be consumed within a year of two of production. Keeping them around for longer won’t improve their quality or flavour.
9. Myth: Darker alcohols are healthier.
Darker alcohols like darker beers and whiskies do contain more antioxidants than their counterparts, but unfortunately they also contain more cogeners. These are toxic substances generated by the manufacturing process. Darker alcohols have more calories too.
