All about veisalgia, or hangovers
This CBCnews.ca article has all the information you need about hangovers. The average adult, according to the article, is likely to get a hangover after consuming 5-6 servings of alcohol. It notes that dark liquors are more likely to give you hangovers than light ones, which may explain why so many people feel their head pounding the next day after drinking a lot of red wine. The medical term for a hangover is veisalgia.
What can you do to prevent hangovers? Some of the article’s suggestions were just common sense, such as interspersing servings of water with your drinks. However, it also states that consuming a glass of milk before you start drinking can line the stomach and make you less susceptible, and eating fatty foods prior to drinking also helps. Eggs and bananas are recommended to replenish the body in the morning, and coffee is not recommended because it further dehydrates.
