Studies have proven that alcohol consumption can trigger a migraine attack. Many migraine patients avoid the consumption of alcohol altogether. There are two types of migraines related to drinking alcohol: a delayed migraine, and a migraine the day after drinking resulting in a painful hangover. Some people are extremely sensitive to nitrates present in wines. Red wine is believed to be a primary trigger of migraines. In fact, a lot of people believe that organically grown grapes which are sulfite-free won't trigger a headache. So, even if you indulge in alcohol, make sure to stay hydrated.
