I LOVE THE NIGHTLIFE AND I DONT LIKE THE HANGOVER

After an indescribable and wonderful fun night out, you wake up the next morning finding yourself aching all over. It is definitely a nightmare for some but however, you are not alone. A whole lot of you would have experience the motions the next day after a wild night out with your peers all night long. These motions are generally known as hangover or its clinical term, Morning after Syndrome. The duration of this motion varies from one victim a.k.a party addicted earthling.

This whole motion begins with the excessive amount or level of alcohol in the bloodstream. As we all know, we humans who parties at night would go to a club with our peers. Which of us would be dumb enough to go to a club at night all by ourselves? Unless we had gone through a very painful break up experience and decided that is the only way to make ourselves feel better or we just want to have a drink or two due to the heavy workload and stress at work.

Due to the drinks that contains mostly alcohol in clubs; about 95% of the contents in alcoholic beverages is broken down into one of the most important organ in our body which is the liver. The other 5% of the contents is excreted out by our skin which produces sweat, lungs which produce out carbon dioxide and kidneys which produce urine. When the intake of alcohol is more than the output, the blood stream level is higher and longer. Therefore, it increases the chance of a person in obtaining a hangover.

Generally an hour or so after the last drink of the night, morning-after striking pains and aches begins as blood alcohol start to decrease. After about eight to ten hours later, the worst symptoms strike together with the full recovery of the person. Therefore, hangover rebound is believed to help to balance the body's slow adjustment to the absence of alcohol in the body.

In conclusion, researchers quote that hangovers represent a non strong form of alcohol withdrawal. Some with a wide knowledge of chemistry would argue that hangover is a response to the chemical effects of ethanol which can be found in alcohol. However, the person who would know better is the sufferers. They know who to blame and it is none other than the culprit known as booze.
