How come when I get drunk or even buzzed on White Zinfandel wine I wake up feeling BETTER?

Question

I am not joking. Nothing else has this effect but I cannot understand why! I am 39, struggle with an arthritic hip and a lot of fatigue (and depression). Have for years. And after drinking the night before, I literally wake up the next morning feeling physically better and notice it for almost 3 or three days afterward. I am more alert and in less pain. I rarely drink, but now that I notice this I guess I will do it more often. Red wine, however is from h**l :)

Answer 1

White Zin is low in the hangover causing agents acetaldehydes (sp?). These are particularly high in red wines and dark liquors. They are also higher in low quality spirits. This is why some say that a vodka like Belvidere is hang over free. In any case you are probably not drinking enough acetaldehydes and or drinking enough water to not be dehydrated enough to have a hang over. Ultimately, dehydration is what causes most hangovers with a little help from the said acetaldehydes.
