What Contributes to a Bad Night & Morning After — Congeners

I hadn’t run across the word Congeners (or the concept), but it explain s a lot of my first 25 years on this planet. Basically, according to this Gizmodo post, cheaper alcohol has a lot of these things — which may not be good for your experience after a night of drinking:

Congeners, also known as fusil oils, are a byproduct of the mash fermentation process. They are, essentially, impurities. There are hundreds of types of congeners, some of which are higher-order alcohols (i.e. non-ethanol) that our bodies can’t really process. Essentially, our bodies treat them as a poison, and a headache is a very common symptom of poison processing. That said, different people may be better or worse at metabolizing and flushing these toxins.
