Getting over a hangover comes only when there is a hangover so why not discuss what really causes a hangover.
As we all know that overconsumption of alcohol invariably results in a hangover;just how much alcohol is necessary to produce one depends on the biochemical individuality of the consumer, and the type of drink consumed.
Distilled liquors suh as whisky and gin, have a more immediate impact than wines or beers, and all alcohol is absorbed more quickly when mixed with a carbonated beverage.Once in the bloodstream, alcohol reaches the brain in minutes.
At first it acts as a stimulant, producing euphoria.This soon gives way to central nervous system depression and feelings of numbness, and finally to sleep or unconsciousness.Rapid ingestion of a large amount of alcohol can be fatal.The severity of a hangover is partially influenced by congeners, by-products or the fermentation process that contribute to the taste and aroma of an alcoholic beverage.
The more congeners in a drink, the more severe a hangover may be.Brandy has the greatest number of congeners, followed by redwine, rum, whiskey, white wine, gin and vodka.Lastly regular overconsumption may significantly raise the risk of developing a number of health problems, including high blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmias, liver disease, stroke, dementia, and seeral kinds of cancer, including cancer of the liver, pancreas, esophagus and the mouth and breast cancer.It also lowers the sexual performance in men reducing levels of testosterone, the male sex harmonewhile increasing estrogen levels, which acn lead to impotence, shrunken testicles and male breast growth.So lets CHEERS TO MODERATE CONSUMPTION!
