The concentration of toxins is high not only in a cheap alcohol, which usually use the students, but in the dark alcoholic beverages, such as bourbon, brandy, whiskey, some types of tequila. In one study, 33 percent of the participants drank bourbon, suffering from a hangover, while only 3 per cent of the drunk the same amount of vodka woke up with vertigo.

Alcohol from the stomach enters the upper part of the small intestine, where most of the process of absorption of alcohol.
