Does Drinking Beer Before Liquor Really Give You A Worse Hangover?

We've all heard some variation of the saying "Beer before liquor, never sicker. Liquor before beer, you're in the clear." The phrase suggests that someone who drinks liquor before beer in one sitting won't experience a strong hangover in the morning. A person who drinks beer before liquor, on the other hand, is in for a rude awakening.

It turns out that expression isn't accurate. "There is no truth to this statement," registered dietitian Amy Shapiro, MS, RD, CDN, says. So, where did that theory come from? According to the New York Times, the phrase "may stem from the way certain alcoholic beverages are digested. Carbonated drinks like beer and sparkling wines, for example, tend to irritate the lining of the stomach, increasing the rate of alcohol absorption. Starting with beer and then adding wine or liquor may conceivably lead to intoxication more quickly."

But according to Shapiro, it's not the order in which you consume the alcohol that matters, but the amount of alcohol you consume in one sitting.
