Hangover

A hangover is the collection of unpleasant symptoms that occur after drinking excess alcohol. It results from alcohol’s effects on the body, including dehydration, irritability of the stomach lining, low blood sugar, and the buildup of toxins like acetaldehyde. Common symptoms include headache, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, and sensitivity to light or sound. The severity varies based on factors like alcohol type, amount consumed, hydration levels, and individual sensitivity. Recovery typically involves rest, hydration, and time as the body metabolizes and clears alcohol and its byproducts.
