Prosecco Hangovers Are Officially The Worst According To A Wine Expert

Thank goodness for Dry January because I don't really think my body can take anymore alcohol consumption. Prosecco? No thanks, I've had enough, I'll just stick to water.

According to a wine expert, prosecco gives you the worst hangover compared to other alcoholic drinks. As if we didn't know that already. Yikes.

According to sommelier and founder of Club Vino, Marco Castelanelli, the carbon dioxide in the popular fizzy tipple changes how the liquid flows through the blood stream - and actually increases the groggy side effects of booze. It's always the bubbles.

Speaking to Tyla, the expert said: "If you find that you get the worst headache ever after a glass of two or Procecco then quite simply blame it on the bubbles.

"Prosecco and Champagne both contain little pockets of carbon dioxide which change how the alcohol flows through the blood stream, helping the body to adsorb the alcohol faster.

"Once in the bloodstream the Co2 competes with oxygen which is why you might feel a little woozy and rather drunk rather quickly leading to an exaggerated hangover in the form of a pounding head."

The ex-wine merchant advised people to drink water between each glass to reduce dehydration and to sip slowly instead of necking it back.

If all else fails, you might as well get the paracetamol ready and a pint of water next to your bed. Good luck out there.
