Default Why does wine make me sick, but not whiskey?

Whenever I venture to drink a few glasses of wine...and it doesn't seem to matter what kind...I always end up sicker than a dog. I get the most horrible hang over, killer headache, vomiting, etc...

However when I drink something else, such as a hard liquor, like whiskey or scotch, etc... I don't get sick, never have had a hang over with it. I always feel fine in the morning, maybe a bit thirsty but that's it.

You'd think it'd be the other way around, because wine has less alcohol content. It seems when I drink fermented beverages I get sick, when I drink distilled beverages I suffer no ill effects... WHY?

Wine is lower quality alcohol and it dehydrates more

sometimes it is due to the sugar content. Wine coolers and wine gives me a bad headache, but I can drink vodka all night have have no such problem ......... unless I over-indulge, then I have the typical hangover ..... cheers!
