Usually geniuses can afford better quality booze too... fewer impurities = less chance of hangover

what, joemonkey, would you say an "impurity" is exactly?

Congeners, which are lessened w/ each distillation and purification process. More distallation and purification = more cost involved in making the booze = that booze costs more money.

"Some drinks give you worse hangovers than others due to the actions of impurities called Congeners. While it's the ethyl alcohol (ethanol) that gets you drunk, amyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, and isopropyl alcohol is also found in most drinks to varying degrees, and the concentration of these Congeners will go a long way to determining the severity of the hangover.

Vodka and gin (clear liquors) are generally lower in congeners than whisky, rum and bourbon, due to the filtering process involved, and hence usually give a less intense hangover. Unfortunately the congeners also give flavor, smell and appearance to alcohol."

From here

Also:

"In this effort Skyy is distilled a whopping four times at various temperatures to remove specific congeners, and purified three times to remove others. For comparison, Smirnoff vodka -- another common domestic brand -- is distilled twice."

From here

stupidisest redicooolous research I've heard.


also done by the same 'scientists':

geniuses are also not prone to car crash, divorce, AIDs, arrest, and JackAss Style related death.
