Which kind of alcohol gives you the worst hangover?
For me it's whiskey, followed by rum.
Vodka always has the least effect going into the next day.

Synthetic wine made without grapes? I'm just guessing but based on 'common knowledge' it is bad.
Rubbing.
♫ What about mouthwash? ♫
Before 41, none of them. After? Everything.
Wheat beer. Just one is enough to give me a horrific hangover, whereas I can drink 2 Maße (1L each) of lager from even the same brewery and be fine.
This could also indicate a food sensitivity if you're reacting a lot worse to one type of alcohol (everything else held constant, obvs)
Good point.
I want to point out that vodka is usually made from grains, not potatoes. And I'd honestly be surprised if there's enough non-alcohol substances left in a given vodka to trigger someone's food sensitivities - I'd assume it's one of the additives (especially common in Russian vodka), not the plant it's made from.
Also, if you're allergic/sensitive to wheat or potatoes, you should notice that in food way before you notice it while drinking.
Tequila, in basically any quantity, regardless of total amount of alcohol consumed, will give me a horrific hangover. As will anything that contains agave, regardless of alcohol content. I'm pretty sure I'm allergic, but I haven't gotten that medically verified.
Other than that I don't really get hangovers. I'm sure that will change as I get older, but I'm in my early thirties and it hasn't yet...
Cheap beer or cheap sweet wine.
Yeah I drink everything and cheap wine’s definitely my vote.
Tequila
Whichever is most likely to be served alongside salty food.
Honestly, I don't usually get hangovers, because I finish the night with a little bit of Jeppson's Malört, which is a balm against hangovers, headaches, and stomach trouble. Fernet is less effective if you can't get malört in your area.
I've had a tradition for years. Anyone who visits my house for the first time has to do a shot of Malört with me. Best bonding exercise I've found
