The Hangover - Dr. David Hepburn

1. THE HANGOVER
DR. DAVID HEPBURN

2. “All I know is that having a hangover and having
a child both cause headaches, nausea, loud
noises and often involve alcohol…”
Dr. David Hepburn

4. Hangover
• According to Dr. Hepburn:
• The hangovers are caused by increased levels of alcohol breakdown
products called acetaldehyde, which is an unpleasant sounding word
unlike say, peppermint or playoffs.
• Alcohol, a diuretic, leads to dehydration and causes electrolyte
depletion. Dehydration means that the body now can’t easily rid
itself of the irritating acetaldehyde and other byproducts of alcohol.

5. Advices for Hangover
• Try to drink water or beverages like Gatorade or bouillon soup to help replace lost
electrolytes or lost soup
• Don't drink large amounts of alcohol quickly. No more than one drink an hour,
since that is all the alcohol your liver can handle.
• Exercise. It raises your metabolic rate, which helps you clear toxins associated
with metabolizing alcohol.
• Drink clear drinks. Complex organic molecules called congeners create more toxic
byproducts and are found in greater concentrations in darker drinks (e.g. whisky,
brandy, rum, even red wine) compared with clear drinks (e.g. vodka, gin, white
wine, Fresca)

6. Advices for Hangover
• Eat a meal before you start drinking
• If you consume more than three alcoholic beverages a day, be very
careful with acetaminophen, which itself can mess up a liver
• Drink more alcohol it doesn't help and it's only enhancing the existing
toxicity and making dehydration worse.
• Drink caffeinated beverages will further aggravate dehydration.
