  Ethanol, the alcoholic present in alcoholic drinks, is a toxin that passes into the bloodstream and gets distributed around the body, causing damage and irritation to cells. An even more toxic chemical called acetaldehyde is formed when alcohol is broken down in the liver. Acetaldehyde is targeted by a substance called glutathione, which limits how much damage acetaldehyde can do, but drinking large amounts of alcohol depletes the glutathione level and acetaldehyde is then able to accumulate in the body, causing headaches and sickness. […] Alcohol fermentation produces by-products called congeners. These impurities, which give many alcoholic drinks their flavor, enhance hangover symptoms. Darker drinks such as red wine and whisky contain more congeners than lighter drinks such as white wine and vodka.

  An alcohol hangover is a consequence of drinking too many alcoholic beverages in a short period. Excessive drinking affects the body’s functions. […] Dehydration causes other hangover symptoms such as: Thirst, Dry mouth, Fatigue, Headaches. […] Alcohol causes an inflammatory reaction in the body, affecting organs like the liver and brain. Regular excessive alcohol use and the resulting inflammation can damage these organs. […] During hangovers, inflammation contributes to muscle pain and general malaise. […] Alcohol is acidic and irritates the stomach lining, causing it to produce more gastric acids. This contributes to stomach upset, nausea, and vomiting associated with hangovers. […] Alcohol leads to disrupted and fragmented sleep. It leaves you feeling fatigued and without rest, a common hangover symptom. The lack of quality sleep may also contribute to memory loss, confusion, and trouble thinking.

[…] Many people of Asiatic origin, for example, are severely affected by facial flushing because nature has dealt them a very slow acting version of aldehyde dehydrogenase, the enzyme that normally degrades acetaldehyde. […] Dehydration plays an important role, as does hypoglycemia, which can happen due to alcohol causing sugar to be lost in the urine.

  Ethanol, the alcoholic present in alcoholic drinks, is a toxin that passes into the bloodstream and gets distributed around the body, causing damage and irritation to cells. An even more toxic chemical called acetaldehyde is formed when alcohol is broken down in the liver. Acetaldehyde is targeted by a substance called glutathione, which limits how much damage acetaldehyde can do, but drinking large amounts of alcohol depletes the glutathione level and acetaldehyde is then able to accumulate in the body, causing headaches and sickness. […] Alcohol fermentation produces by-products called congeners. These impurities, which give many alcoholic drinks their flavor, enhance hangover symptoms. Darker drinks such as red wine and whisky contain more congeners than lighter drinks such as white wine and vodka.

  It might seem puzzling to wake up feeling sore after a night of merely lifting drinks rather than weights. However, the science behind this discomfort is clear. Alcohol metabolism can lead to hangover body aches from an accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles. […] Perhaps one of the most dreaded hangover symptoms is nausea. Alcohol irritates the stomach lining, leading to inflammation and an increased production of stomach acid. […] Alcohol consumption stimulates the stomach lining to produce more acid. This heightened acidity not only irritates the stomach but can also result in gastritis or inflammation of the stomach lining. […] Feeling dizzy or off-balance? Alcohol disrupts the inner ear’s balance mechanism, leading to vertigo. […] Heavy drinking often leads to a spike in hangover blood pressure. This elevation in blood pressure can lead to feelings of anxiety, a racing heart, and even palpitations.

  Alcohol stops the production of an amino acid called glutamine, which can act as a stimulant and play a role in wakefulness. Once a person has stopped drinking, the body responds to the lack of glutamine by producing an excess of the substance. This interferes with normal sleep, which can cause tiredness. […] Withdrawing from alcohol leads to tremors and sweating, since the brain adapts to alcohol, even if a person has only drunk for one evening. The brain is then in a withdrawal state once alcohol levels in the body fall. This leads some people to opt for hair of the dog, which refers to consuming more alcohol to take the edge off withdrawal symptoms. […] Acid production is increased in the stomach when alcohol is consumed. This aggravates the stomach lining and delays the stomach’s emptying process, which can result in pain and vomiting. […] Hangovers can last for as long as three days, although they usually pass more quickly. How long the symptoms last depends on a number of factors including how much was drunk, the extent of dehydration, gender, liver health, the use of certain drugs, and nutritional status.

  First off, lets examine why you may feel so gross the morning after a night of drinks. The culprits are acetaldehyde and formaldehyde. […] Acetaldehyde contributes to the symptoms of a hangover. […] Many people of Asiatic origin, for example, are severely affected by facial flushing because nature has dealt them a very slow acting version of aldehyde dehydrogenase, the enzyme that normally degrades acetaldehyde. […] Dehydration plays an important role, as does hypoglycemia, which can happen due to alcohol causing sugar to be lost in the urine. […] the greatest contributor to the hangover is methanol, another fermentation product found in alcoholic beverages, luckily in small amounts because methanol is highly toxic. […] But it too can produce the hangover symptoms. […] This explains why some people will actually try to combat their hangover with more alcohol the following morning, since this drink would then supply ethanol for the enzymes to act upon, thereby leaving methanol alone. […] Confirmation about the critical role of methanol in hangovers comes from a study showing that treatment with 4-methylpyrazole, a drug that blocks the breakdown of methanol, can eliminate the symptoms.
