Am I a wimp or is Scrumpy Jack simply "Hangover" rebranded?

Had 3 pints of it last night. It's 6% so not much more different than beer or the usual Cider I drink but the hangover is MUCH worse! It's coming up to midday and my head is still feeling heavy and my arms are numb!!

Is this hardcore apple class A cider or am I just a southern wuss? Thought 3 pints then work the next day would be OK. It was with a meal too so not an empty stomach :(

Never again am I experimenting with random ciders on a work night!!
 
I've had some of the worst hangovers of my life drinking Cider. (And by "Cider" I don't mean Magners. Magners can kiss my ass)
 
I saw people on another forum going on about how Scrumpy doesnt give you a hangover. Fool on me for believing them I suppose. They lie!!!
 
Are we talking the stuff you buy in any shop or proper scrumpy (cloudy)?

Even the shelf stuff isnt that bad that 3 points would cause you a problem if you are a normal drinker!

I'd agree with Sic. When Bulmers used to be cheap stuff sold in the local shop (£7 for 24 tins) we used to buy it as students. I think the old Bulmers with the perry mixed into it used to actually be some form of chemical weapon. 4 tins and it didn't seem to matter how much you can normally handle your drink and you were smashed. We named the day after effects of it 'Bulmers Syndrome' just for the way it made you feel everytime, basically a most of the day hangover.
 
Magners an imitation alcopop? What are you on :confused:

It totally depends what sort of cider it was you had. If it was cloudy then it's more likely organic, which does indeed mean gutrot, the runs the next day and generally feeling like crap. I tend to stay away from organic/scrumpy if I can.

Same with cider and larger. Anything with bubbles really. I stick to whiskey usually, occasionally the odd cocktail.

But pints of anything are a no no.

Back in the day when i drank cider, it made me throw-up after two pints. :(
 
Scrumpy Jack is indeed powerfull, its defo stronger then a similar strength lager just seems to get you a different kind of drunk, last time i had a keg of cornish cider my eyes swelled up and i tried to sexually attack the gf!! Also get horiffic heart burn from it.
