Hangover causes

Why do we experience hangovers? The ethanol in our drinks causes increased urine production which results in dehydration. Ethanol is metabolized into acetaldehyde which is far more toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic than the alcohol itself. It takes time to break down the acetaldehyde into acetic acid, during which you'll experience all the symptoms of acetaldehyde exposure (namely, hangover symptoms).

Also, drinking an alcoholic beverage that contains impurities or preservatives can cause a hangover even with only one drink. Some of these impurities may be alcohols other than ethanol. Congeners, chemicals that are a by-products of the fermentation process, can also contribute to hangovers. Additionally, impurities such as zinc or other metals which may be added to sweeten or enhance the flavor of certain liqueurs also add to the hangover count.

Hangover Symptoms

Signs of a hangover

Hangovers are characterized by the following symptoms: dehydration, nausea, headache, fatigue, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, sensitivity to light and sound, trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating and poor depth perception. Many people also experience an extreme aversion to the smell, taste, sight or even the thought of alcohol.

People have different reactions to hangovers so the range and intensity of symptoms may vary from one individual to the next and from one occasion to another. Most hangovers begin the morning after drinking. A hangover may last as long as a couple of days to fully exit one's system.

Help For Hangovers

So it's too late and you've already got a hangover. What now?

Here is a list of some simple things you can do to help minimize the discomfort brought on by a hangover:

* Drink water: You'll feel it until you are rehydrated. Water is the most basic hangover remedy. Rehydrate as soon as possible.

* Eat something: Eggs contain cysteine which may help combat hangover symptoms. Milk is more food than water and it serves to rehydrate you while also supplying calcium which may help ease your suffering.

* Sodium bicarbonate: Try a spoonful of baking soda in water to help quell the hangover queasiness.

* Exercise: Exercise raises your metabolic rate which helps you rid your body of toxins associated with metabolizing alcohol more quickly. Exercise also helps you deliver oxygen to your cells which can increase the speed at which you detoxify harmful compounds from your system.

* Oxygen: Supplemental oxygen is another way to speed up detoxification after drinking alcohol, without having to exercise.

* Vitamin B1 or Thiamine: Thiamine helps prevent the buildup of glutarate in the brain which may be associated with the headache associated with a hangover. Other B vitamins are depleted when you drink so taking a B vitamin complex couuld be very beneficial.

Nothing's more fun than having a few drinks with friendsuntil the room starts spinning, your mouth is parched, and your head feels like it's about to explode. Here's how to feel human again. To complete this How-To you will need: Plenty of water Some burnt toast An effervescent pain reliever Some ibuprofen A sports drink A greasy bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich And a cola Some salt Vitamins B-1, B-6 and C And the amino acid supplement N-Acetyl-Cysteine Step 1: Drink water Because most of a hangover's vile symptoms are the result of dehydration, drink as much water as you can when you get home from your big night out. Tip: You can speed up the hydration process by adding half a teaspoon of salt to each quart of water you drink; the salt helps the body absorb the water. Step 2: Burn some toast Burn yourself some toast. Studies show the carbon helps absorb the impurities released when alcohol is metabolized in your body. Tip: You may also want to keep Vitamins B-1 and B-6, Vitamin C, and the amino acid supplement N-Acetyl-Cysteine on hand in your medicine chest; taking them together has been proven to reduce hangover symptoms. Step 3: Take effervescent pain relievers If your stomach is upset, go for the pop, pop, fizz, fizz of effervescent pain relief tablets; they'll help neutralize your stomach acid. Step 4: Take ibuprofen If you have a headache, take ibuprofen; mixing aspirin and alcohol can irritate the lining of your stomach, and mixing acetaminophen and alcohol can increase your risk of liver damage. Tip: Never take aspirin before drinking: Studies show it can increase your blood alcohol level by a whopping 30 percent! Step 5: Have a sports drink In the morning, have a sports drink to replace the electrolytes your body has lost. Step 6: Eat an egg sandwich Indulge in a nice, greasy bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich for breakfast. People swear by it as a cure, and scientists speculate it helps because the carbs raise blood sugar levels, the fat absorbs alcohol, and the salt replaces your body's depleted sodium. Tip: For extra sodium, and extra pep, add a few dashes of hot sauce to your egg sandwich. Step 7: Drink a cola Nauseous? Drink a cola. It contains phosphoric acid, an ingredient in the drug Emetrol, which controls vomiting. Step 8: Sleep When all else fails, climb back into bed. There's a reason they call it "sleeping it off."
