the Hangover

Hangover refers to drinking too much and causing headaches and stomach upset the next morning. This is because hepatocytes cannot fully treat the harmful substance acetaldehyde after heavy drinking, which causes symptoms of acute poisoning. During the hangover, the liver accumulates fat, the gastrointestinal tract is susceptible to alcoholic acute gastritis, the autonomic nervous system imbalance causes the heartbeat to accelerate, and the blood and electrolyte balance imbalance affects the whole body. It is best to use "sleeping rest" to solve the problem. Getting enough rest can help you recover faster. After drinking, a hot water bath can promote blood circulation, help metabolism, and allow alcohol to be discharged with sweat. However, patients with high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease should be careful of strokes after taking a bath and should take a break first.
