NounSingular hangover Plural hangovers hangover (plural hangovers)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A hangover (pronounced /'hæŋoʊvɜr/) (veisalgia) or delayed alcohol induced headache describes the sum of unpleasant physiological effects following heavy consumption of alcoholic beverages. The most commonly reported characteristics of a hangover include headache, nausea, sensitivity to light and noise, lethargy, dysphoria, diarrhea and thirst. A hangover may also induce psychological symptoms including heightened feelings of depression and anxiety. Hypoglycemia, dehydration, acetaldehyde intoxication, and vitamin B12 deficiency are all theorized causes of hangover symptoms. Hangovers symptoms may persist for several days after alcohol was last consumed. Approximately 25-30% of drinkers may be resistant to hangover symptoms. Some aspects of a hangover are viewed as symptoms of acute ethanol withdrawal, similar to the longer-duration effects of withdrawal from alcoholism, as determined by studying the increases in brain reward thresholds in rats (the amount of current required to receive to electrodes implanted in the lateral hypothalamus) following ethanol injection. Dehydration is caused by the simple osmotic effect of alcohol in the blood drawing water out of the tissues and into the blood, and from there into the kidneys. From Wikipedia under the

I just tried Finlandia for the first time last night. I drank a ton of it and I don't feel hungover at all today. It's not the best tasting vodka, but I could care less if it doesn't give a hangover. Plus, the price is right. Is it just me or does this vodka really not give a bad hangover? I wouldn't say any "good" vodka doesn't give a hangover.

When you drink your brain is depleted of Niacin and the water from your body is flushed. Drink plenty of water or even better, Gatoraid because it will help to get rid of that fatigued feeling, and take a B complex blend that is high in Niacin. I recommend "Stress B Complex" for alcohol drinking. You can take the pill before you start drinking and it will help to avoid the hangover. I have done this for years and yet to have one hangover since. Answered by Eden R - Mon Feb 18 15:06:21 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "hangover" |
