Hangover

I am not a drinker.  In fact, might have a total of 5-10 beers in a ‘binge’ year with a few sips of champagne thrown in on special occasions.  I’m not against alcohol consumption in moderation, but I simply cannot drink, as a certain medication I take doesn’t mix well with alcohol.  It’s not that it’s dangerous; it simply predisposes me to horrific headaches.  Even a few sips of champagne can give me a terrible headache.  This is what makes what I’m about to describe, all the more remarkable.  When I exposed a very cheap bottle of Cava to a torsion field, the bubbles became smaller with an obvious increase in the effervescence of the liquid on the tongue.  I was so intrigued by this, I did the unthinkable; I drank the whole bottle, and rather quickly.  Preparing myself for the worst (a crippling headache) I instead awoke with such a lack of hangover, I forgot I even drank the champagne!  I then enlisted a friend of mine along with some friends of his (all serious drinkers) who reported zero hangover after heavy drinking (whisky, gin, beer, wine, you name it).  Now I realize this is anecdotal, and far be it from me to promote binge drinking, but there do appear to be enticing clues about the effect of structured alcoholic beverages and hangover.  Perhaps structuring somehow inhibits edema, dehydration?  Again, these are anecdotes, but a hangover is a hangover, something not easily wished away through the placebo effect?
