For some people, hangovers are quick and (almost) painless. For others, they’re something much worse.
The margaritas you downed on Friday night leave you slumped in bed all Saturday. On Sunday, you wake up and you’re still parched and jittery. Your head hasn’t stopped throbbing.While most hangovers last less than 24 hours, others stick around longer.To metabolise alcohol, the body breaks it down into acetaldehyde, a chemical compound. A hangover can be the byproduct of this process.
Conversely, if you don’t drink very often but overindulge one night, one hypothesis for why you may have a longer hangover is that your liver may not be conditioned to produce acetaldehyde, Ray says. That means your hangover symptoms might stick around, she says.Age can also be a factor: an older person’s liver may take more time to metabolise alcohol, Ray says. In addition, she said medications such as SSRIs can interact with alcohol, potentially leading to more drawn-out hangover symptoms.
And because “hangover” is such a broad condition , something that seems like an alcohol-induced sickness could be another problem entirely.
