The hangover is nature’s way of telling you that you drank too much.
A hangover makes you feel like a truck ran over you— your head pounds and you feel tired, sick, you can’t sleep and you pee every 10 minutes. British scientists found that brandy produced the worst hangovers, followed by red wine, rum, whiskey, white wine, gin and vodka. Complex molecules called cogeners found in darker types of alcohol may cause much of the agony. Women are more susceptible to hangovers than men because they have more fat (fat doesn’t absorb alcohol very well), weigh less and have fewer gut enzymes that metabolize alcohol, so they concentrate more alcohol in their livers. British researchers reviewed 15 different hangover “cures” and concluded that little evidence supports any of them. Minimize the agony of a hangover by cutting down on alcohol intake or go on the wagon. (The New York Times, Nov. 7, 2006; British Medical Journal, 331: 1515-8, 2005)
