Say it ain't so
The German scientist prof. Dr. Günter Leick, Fachbereich Chemieingenieruwesen, Münster, released a study of 60 different beers for their contents of fuselalcohol, the part of alcohol that is reputed to be responsible for the headache some drinkers get after long evening of imbibing.
Dr. Leich discovered that wheat beer has almost double the fuselalcohol of a standard pilsner.
That means that the risk for a hangover may be bigger after drinking a wheat beer than other styles.
Surprisingly the study also showed there were differences of fuselalcohol in the same beer produced in two different places.
The largest difference was found to be between the DanishTuborg beer and the German brewed version. The Danish has much less fuselalcohol.
