What is a hangover?

 

A hangover, medically known as veisalgia, is caused due to the consumption of

large amounts of alcohol or some other drug. Hangover is most commonly

associated with the after-effects of large consumption of alcohol. This article

summarizes the cures and remedies available for alcohol hangovers.

Hangovers are caused by drinking too much ALCOHOL at one time, and are

dependent on each person’s tolerance level for alcohol. It can be based on

height, weight, and the genetics of a person. Hangover symptoms last only about

24 hours.

The main symptom of a hangover is dehydration and drinking plenty of water

can minimize. A headache is a symptom of dehydration and may be relieved by

drinking water. Drinking too much alcohol decreases the essential nutrients of

the body such as vitamins, minerals, water, and blood sugar.

Some of the important symptoms of hangover are headache, nausea, intestinal

upset, and perhaps diarrhea, aches in the muscles and joints, and fatigue. Some

alcohol is worse than others - Brandy, red wine, rum, whisky, white wine, gin

and vodka

Some alcoholics drink more or less steadily, others drink only when under

stress or anxiety. Some drink in excess and destroy themselves rapidly. Alcohol

often destroys the liver, causing hepatic cirrhosis. It produces gastritis or

inflammation of the stomach. Their effect upon the brain is even more marked.

Alcohol makes the heart weak and flabby. Some alcoholics may develop the

symptoms of peripheral neuritis in which the nerves become weakened and

deteriorated. Alcohol in any form may cause intoxication if enough has been

taken. It is responsible for many deaths. The alcoholic who is dead drunk can be

allowed to sleep off his stupor. This may one or two days. But the man who is

half drunk is often violent, and may not be restrained. Young people should

avoid the use of alcohol in any form. Many people suffer from a severe headache

due to hangover after taking large quantities of alcohol. Alcohol is toxic to

the tissues and directly irritates the meninges and coverings

of the brain, thus causing pain in the head. The alcohol also dilates the

arteries in the brain, and this produces a pain. The best treatment for this

type of headache is to avoid the excessive use of alcohol in any form.
