There’s a reason some drinks give you worse hangovers than others
You’re not imagining it: Some mornings after parties are worse than others—even if you drink the same amount.
Hangovers, or veisalgia, as scientists refer to it, are our body’s way of telling us that we’ve overindulged on alcohol. Scientists aren’t sure exactly why we get them, but they have a few ideas: “Addiction specialists have often noted that a hangover is technically a form of alcohol withdraw at its most benign,” Laura Veach, a counselor and professor of surgery at Wake Forest University, told the New York Times. Usually, hangovers start when the alcohol in our bloodstream begins to decrease, and hit their peak when we’ve reached zero.
