Ha, it seems no one agrees. Okay, here's my take on why people get bad hangovers from sugary drinks:
acid/alkaline balance.
Alcohol is highly acid forming, so is sugar, if you consume the two together it throws the entire balance of your body off. If you consume alcohol with an alkaline forming food (this is determined by the pH of the chemical ash left behind when the food is burned inside the body, so can be counterintuitive) it will not be as bad. Alkaline forming: lemon juice, orange juice, cranberry juice (not the kind with sugar, obviously).
