DESCRIPTION:

INTERNATIONAL HANGOVER DAY


After drinking a lot of alcohol on New Year's Eve, New Year's Day is traditionally considered "Hangover Day." A hangover is experienced after excessive alcohol consumption and includes a range of symptoms:

1. Headache
2. Fatigue
3. Nausea
4. Dizziness
5. Sensitivity to light and sound
6. Mood disturbances
7, Depression
8. Anxiety

The severity and duration of a hangover can vary greatly depending on the individual and the amount and type of alcohol consumed.

WHY WE GET HANGOVERS


Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it promotes the production of urine, leading to dehydration, one of the primary causes of hangover symptoms. Additionally, the liver breaks down alcohol into acetaldehyde, a toxic compound that contributes to the feeling of nausea and headache. As the body works to metabolize and eliminate these substances, the individual experiences the unpleasant symptoms associated with a hangover. Finally, congeners, a chemical by-product found in dark liquors, including whiskey and red wine, can exacerbate hangover symptoms.

HOW TO GET RID OF A HANGOVER

To alleviate the symptoms of a hangover, experts recommend several strategies. Rehydration combats the diuretic effects of alcohol. Drinking water or electrolyte-rich beverages can help restore the body's fluid balance. Consuming food can also assist in stabilizing blood sugar levels disrupted by alcohol consumption.

Over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen, treat headaches and muscle aches; acetaminophen should be avoided as it can cause liver damage when combined with alcohol.

Alcohol can disrupt sleep patterns, so allowing the body extra rest can aid in the healing process. Ginger tea for nausea or honey, with its fructose content, helps metabolize alcohol more quickly. Essentially, alleviating a hangover involves rehydration, eating, taking certain pain relievers, getting plenty of rest, and considering natural remedies.

Though January 1 is traditionally a hangover day since Julius Cesar declared the first New Year's Day in 45 BC, patrons of the Oven and Tap in Bentonville, Arkansas, Keegan Calligar and Marlo Anderson claimed the day and moniker in 2015.
