The Effects of Alcohol and a Hangover

Our focus is on dealing with a hangover. There are a million other sites written by experts on both the short and long term effects of alcohol, so I’ll let you indulge in their expert and detailed medical opinions while we concentrate on what we know best!



If you’re here that means you know all about the euphoric initial effects of alcohol and the benefits on your social life it can have when consumed in moderation. You most likely also know about the effects it has when consumed in higher quantities too: slow reactions, word slurring, poor decision-making, falling asleep, hungover..the list goes on and on.

We’re all different in our reactions to having a few drinks. Furthermore, your reaction may depend on your mental state and surroundings at that time.

Long term however, if you overindulge repeatedly, it’s not so funny. Go easy on the regular drinking sessions in general.

It's useful to know that alcohol appears to age people’s faces and bodies faster if consumed too often in quantity and no one wants that, do they? Enjoy yourself, but take it easy.
