I remember reading somewhere that the  more  expensive  whiskeys  are  less
harmful  to  the system and cause milder hangovers than the cheap stuff.  I
wouldn't expect the difference to be a great one.

Note:   Before you run to stock up on 40 year old  irish  whiskey  at  some
        outrageous  price, keep in mind that whiskey doesn't improve beyond
        12 years in the barrel and doesn't improve in the  bottle  at  all.
	If you buy any over 12 years old you're paying for hype.
