What causes a hangover?
 

By Sally Robertson, BSc

The experience of a hangover varies between individuals, but, generally it is characterized by headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, and dehydration. A hangover can also cause difficulty concentrating, sensitivity to light and noise, thirst, diarrhea, and lethargy. Psychological effects may include feelings of irritable, depressed, or anxious. For some people, just one alcoholic drink can result in a hangover, while others can drink heavily and still not experience a hangover.

The main reason people get hangovers is drinking too much alcohol.

Wow. This is groundbreaking. This person deserves a Nobel for solving this mystery.

Close enough.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

dehydration is the root of it.   If you drink water before, during, and after your boozing the effects won't be so dire.

Of course not drinking too much helps as well.
