While studies occasionally reach incorrect conclusions, researchers can assist in correcting the record.

I went for a walk, then went to a restaurant and ordered a 50ml Jack Daniel's with Coca-Cola. I got home and had two cans of Corona extra, and here I am at 4:21am writing because I woke up with a strong urge to urinate at 3am, went to urinate, and almost immediately felt the urge to urinate again.

I went back to bed, but this time I couldn't sleep. I farted a few times, but each time I became more restless. I became extremely cold and hungry. I dashed to the kitchen to drink lots of water to calm myself down, but my hunger grew stronger, so I decided to make noodles right away. I quickly checked online to see how I could quickly get rid of a hangover, and I got a few tips which helped.

because I was so cold, shivering and experiencing a fast heartbeat. I was confused and scared while I was making the noodles. I was really hungry, so I stood close to the heater while I cooked the noodles. After making the noodles, I ate quickly because all I wanted was food in my stomach. Once I did, I felt much better after a lot of urinating and drinking water.

At this point, I was terrified because I was confused about how my body was reacting. I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to alcohol at this point because the feeling was so intense and frightening.

If you want to drink, please do so responsibly, but keep in mind that our bodies are all different, so alcohol's reaction is more of a case of different strokes for different people. And if you have a hangover, this is basically what your body is going through. I am going to explain it in the simplest terms.

Hangovers appear to be the body's way of alerting us to the dangers of overindulgence. Physiologically, it is a collaborative effort: The classic symptoms are diarrhoea, fatigue, headache, nausea, and shaking. Sometimes, systolic (upper) blood pressure rises, the heart beats faster than usual, and sweat glands overproduce, indicating that the "fight or flight" response is activated. Some people become light or sound sensitive. Others experience a spinning sensation (vertigo).

The causes are as varied as the symptoms. Alcohol is metabolised into acetaldehyde, a toxic substance at high concentrations. However, concentrations rarely reach that level, so that's not the whole story.

Because drinking disrupts brain activity during sleep, a hangover may be a form of sleep deprivation. Because alcohol disrupts the hormones that regulate our biological clocks, a hangover can feel like jet lag, and vice versa. Because alcohol can also cause migraines, some people may believe they are hungover when they are actually suffering from an alcohol-induced migraine.

Hangovers occur when blood alcohol levels begin to fall. In fact, according to a number of experts, the symptoms are at their worst when the levels reach zero.

The key component appears to be "drinking to intoxication"; how much you drink to get there appears to be secondary. Several studies have found that light and moderate drinkers are more likely to get a hangover than heavy drinkers. However, contrary research indicates that people with a family history of alcoholism have worse hangovers. Researchers say that some people may have drinking problems because they drink to get rid of hangover symptoms.

What relieves a hangover?

In 1998, Dr. Robert Swift of the Providence Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Rhode Island coauthored one of the few review papers on hangovers. It is still one of the most widely cited sources on the subject. The following list of hangover cures is based on that review, an interview with Dr. Swift, and several other sources.

1.Drink plenty of fluids.

When I say drink plenty of water, I don't mean 2 or 3 glasses; I mean 5 glasses. Alcohol increases urination because it inhibits the release of vasopressin, a hormone that reduces the amount of urine produced by the kidneys. You may be dehydrated if your hangover includes diarrhoea, sweating, or vomiting. Although nausea can make it difficult to consume anything, drinking lots of water can help ease your hangover.

2. Consume carbohydrates to refuel your body.

Food is extremely important for curing a hangover. If you consume cold food, you may vomit. Instead, consume warm or hot food. Freshly prepared meals are the best, trust me. Theoretically, a portion of the fatigue and headaches associated with a hangover may result from a lack of glucose, the brain's primary fuel. In addition, many individuals forget to eat when they drink, further reducing their blood sugar levels. Toast and juice are a method for restoring levels to normal.

3. Avoid dark-colored alcoholic beverages.

According to experiments, clear liquors, such as vodka and gin, cause hangovers less frequently than dark liquors, such as whiskey, red wine, and tequila. However, darker liquors contain chemically related compounds (congeners), including methanol. The same enzymes process ethanol and methanol, according to Dr. Swift's review paper, but methanol metabolites are especially toxic, so they may cause a more severe hangover.

4. Use a painkiller, but not Tylenol. 

Aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin and other brand names), and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may help relieve headaches and general aches. However, NSAIDs may irritate an alcohol-irritated stomach. Avoid taking acetaminophen (Tylenol). If you still have alcohol in your system, it could make the liver damage from acetaminophen worse.

5. Have a cup of coffee or tea.

Caffeine might not be a miracle cure for a hangover, but as a stimulant, it could help wake you up and help with the grogginess.
