Hangover

Also known as Alcohol Hangover, Veisalgia

A hangover is the cluster of symptoms — headache, nausea, fatigue, and dehydration — that follows drinking more alcohol than the body can comfortably process, typically peaking the next morning and resolving within 24 hours. It's worth being upfront: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials found no compelling evidence that any conventional or complementary intervention prevents or treats a hangover, and concluded the most effective approach is abstinence or moderation. What follows is supportive care for the dehydration that drives many of the symptoms, not a proven cure.
