Man I went to a party last week, had one glass of red wine and no other alcohol, and woke up the next morning with a killer headache. I’m 42 and not much of a drinker but this kind of reaction made me think it was specifically the red wine. I ain’t doing that again for a long while, if ever.

    Now this is a half remembered anecdote so... pinch of salt.

    But I do remeber something about some people having negative reactions to the tannins in red wine. So it might not so much be the alcohol.

    Low quality wine is much worse than its alcohol content.

    Random personal anecdote: I can’t drink stout beers anymore. A single one gives me the worst hangovers. Same quantity of alcohol in other beverages doesn’t have nearly the same effects.
