According to scientific research, a hangover is primarily caused by dehydration, toxic byproducts called congeners, and inflammation. So, does mezcal give you a hangover in the morning? While often touted as a 'healthier' spirit, the truth is that any alcoholic beverage can lead to a hangover, though the severity is influenced by quality, quantity, and drinking habits.

While it might seem that way to the uninitiated, tequila is actually a type of mezcal, but not all mezcal is tequila. This common misconception that mezcal is just cheap tequila fundamentally misunderstands the artisanal nature of Mexico's original agave spirit.
