What causes a hangover?

Answer by  luvlexis83 (798)

From my DUI Class it is said is caused by the rapid decrease of your blood alcohol level. You can eat before drinking so the alcohol wont be absorbed fast in the body, consume small amounts of alcohol if any, and consume plenty of water after drinking even if it is one drink.

Your body needs fluids to break down alcohol. If you have a hangover your brain is dehydrated. Drinking lots of water helps a little, but you can't prevent it totally.

You drank to much the night before. An old wives tail is that if you take 2-3 aspirin before you drink that will help prevent you from a hangover.
