We either get headaches the day after a binge, or we're simply tired the whole day following heavy drinking... I was wondering if that's because the alcohol here is lower quality?

What would explain the lack of hangovers in Cuba?

I know americans can't travel to cuba, but has anybody experienced this while travelling to the Dominican Republic or Jamaica?
