Don’t Fall for It: This One Cocktail Gives You the Most Horrendous Hangover
I’ve let myself be tempted again, completely by accident. You know when, after a couple of glasses of wine, you think, damn, that’s a good idea. Let’s order it! Yes! The next day, regretting every sip. Ugh. The hangover. There’s one cocktail that’s the biggest villain of the whole bunch: this drink is guaranteed to give you the absolute worst hangover.
Sugar makes it even worse
Many versions of the Espresso Martini contain coffee liqueur, such as Kahlúa, which is high in sugar. Sugar combined with alcohol can deliver a double blow to your body. Not only does your blood sugar rise quickly, leading to a sugar crash later on, it also promotes dehydration because your body has to work harder to process both the sugar and the alcohol.
The sugars can make the hangover even worse by boosting your energy and then making you crash, leaving you feeling even weaker and more wrecked than usual. I told you: it’s misery in a glass. Next time, I’m really skipping it. Really.
