  • The Truth About Alcohol


    A BBC programme “The Truth About Alcohol” to be broadcast at 9.00pm on Thursday 26th May will feature work carried out for the programme by the Kent Public Analyst Laboratory

    The analysts’ involvement was to look at a variety of drinks (wine, spirits, beer, cider etc) and determine the volatile congener levels per unit of alcohol just to see how they varied.  This was linked to some published papers which stated it was the levels or combination of congeners in drinks taken that have an effect on whether you get a hangover or not.
