THE SCIENCE BEHIND KICKBACK
Hangovers are the body's response to the physiological disruptions caused by alcohol consumption
NAUSEA
Alcohol irritates the stomach lining and increases acid production, leading to nausea and vomiting.
STOMACH PAIN
Alcohol consumption can cause gastritis by eroding the stomach lining, leading to inflammation and pain
POOR SLEEP
Alcohol disrupts the sleep cycle by affecting the balance of neurotransmitters, resulting in reduced REM sleep and overall sleep quality
ANXIETY
The depressant effect of alcohol on the central nervous system can rebound as the body metabolizes the alcohol, leading to increased anxiety and restlessness
HEADACHE
Alcohol leads to dehydration and the dilation of blood vessels in the brain, both of which contribute to headache
BRAIN FOG
The neurotoxic effects of alcohol impair cognitive function by disrupting neurotransmitter activity, resulting in decreased clarity and memory retention
DRY MOUTH
Alcohol's diuretic properties increase urine output, leading to dehydration and a subsequent dry mouth.
FATIGUE
The metabolic processing of alcohol by the liver consumes significant energy resources, leading to feelings of fatigue
THE CRITICAL ROLE OF HYDRATION
- Hydration isn’t just about drinking water—it’s about maintaining a delicate balance of fluids and electrolytes within your body’s cells.
- Alcohol acts as a diuretic by by inhibiting the reabsorption of water back into your bloodstream, meaning your body can lose up to four times more liquid than what you consumed, rapidly depleting your hydration status.
- Rehydration is crucial, and plain water is insufficient to fully restore the body’s balance after alcohol consumption.
