How does alcohol cause hangovers?

 In 1973, scientists conduct experiments to investigate what alcohol causes worse hangovers. They found that ethanol, one of the alcohol, plays a detrimental role in causing hangovers. Hangovers have human some unpleasant features, headaches, stomachaches, and so on. Also, alcohol slows down the communication between neural cells and it leads to tremors or rapid heartbeat associated with hangovers, which also makes sleep shorter and less restful than normal.
 What's more, alcohol can cause problems with hormones. It disrupts the level of many hormones. One of those hormones is cortisol. Cortisol helps us awake and oriented to do something important for us but if the level of it goes up and down in an unusual way, you will be likely to get frustrated or angry.

As mentioned above, alcohol directly damages your body, which can prevent you from functioning properly. But how can you reduce its effect? I can suggest that you drink water or sports drink after drinking alcohol or you eat carbohydrates, bread, pasta, or rice, which can slow down the process of digesting alcohol. But ultimately, the only way to prevent a hangover is to drink alcohol in moderation or not at all.

Do you understand what alcohol cause and what you will be like when you get a hangover? You would get along with alcohol once you understand its effect. See you in the next writing.
