Quasi-mandatory orientation week training about safely drinking really worked – I know college kids who'll eat while they're drinking, and apparently they make make "BORGS" with electrolyte drinks mixed in too.
I just wish they had training about all the avoidable mistakes you'll make in college relationships...
Pectin breaks down into methanol. Particularly fruit wines and liqueurs will end up with hyper-concentrated methanol. Water will help but cannot remove the pain of actually passing that methanol.
Granted, it's not so bad with the first glass. But with three, be prepared for a nasty hangover. At least this is my experience with applejack. Professionally-made apple jack may be cleaned up more (I kind of hope it is).
I wish avoiding a hangover was as easy as drinking water.
I get really bad hangover from some wines and beers, and no hangover at all from others. Haven't been able to figure out what the difference is. Wish I could just drink water to avoid it.
