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.

"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge

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.
