Go green at the same time you're going bar-hopping; you'll feel better the next morning By Deirdre Fulton

Why drink organic booze? Aside from fewer pesticides meaning healthier farms and healthier humans, there might be a more practical reason: fewer, or less-aggressive, hangovers. As someone who suffers from mean mornings-after, this is great news. Some medical experts say that methanol—a toxin, and a byproduct of alcohol fermentation—makes for more intense hangovers because it breaks down in our bodies as (toxic) formic acid. There are small amounts of methanol in all alcoholic drinks, but you’ll find fewer in organic spirits. So, those higher-quality ingredients aren’t just saving the planet—they’re also saving your liver.
