According to The Daily Mail, "sherry and the port cause intoxication faster than most other alcoholic drinks and they also cause the worst hangover."

Sosabowski explained that rapid intoxication from sherry and port is due to the fact that these drinks contain a relatively high amount of alcohol and are also absorbed faster than others, unlike strong alcohol, such as whiskey, which is more slowly absorbed.
