Eh... you would expect more acetone and ethyl acetate I think. I'm guessing IPA and methanol might show up too, assuming you had any in the mash. The 'other alcohols' AFAIK, mostly show up in the tails. Those are the fun ones like butyl and pentyl alcohol, which have different subjective effects and may actually suppress a hangover.
Let's be honest, ethanol gives you a hangover. Your body breaks it down into acetylaldehyde. Ethanol is a pretty shitty alcohol to use as an intoxicant. People have played around with making hangover-free alcohol from the higher alcohols over the years but it never went anywhere.

- 01100011 7y agoNot sure. I can't find a link to it right now. There is 'alcosynth', but AFAICT that's something different. About 5-7 years ago I was really into this stuff but I stopped drinking a couple years ago and slowly forgot it all. There are a number of studies on fusel oils/heavier alcohols and hangovers if you want to google it. Tryptophol and the like are also interesting(yeast produce them under certain nutrient conditions).
