That is funny as they all pretty much taste like rubbing alcohol, nut I've noticed the something. I've spent nights sticking to grey goose and had very little hangover, especially compared to getting as drunk on beer or whiskey.

However I've had nights where I just drank the well vodka and wasn't as lucky. In general though, I think vodka gives less hangover, at least for me, everyone's different.

I wouldn't say smirnoff is a cheap vodka either. Yeah cheaper than goose, but not the cheapest well around. We drank Idaho Silver in HS.

I wonder if the hangover effects depend on what the vodka is made from, wheat, potato, etc?
