00:00 This podcast episode discusses the science behind hangovers and how to alleviate them, with a mention of the medical term for hangover, Vysalgia.

04:19 Hangovers are caused by the diuretic effect of alcohol, which leads to dehydration and the shrinking of the brain, causing headaches and other unpleasant symptoms.

08:20 Hangovers are caused by dehydration and the loss of electrolytes, salt, potassium, and magnesium, which affects cell and muscle function, and can lead to symptoms such as headaches and tremors.

12:29 The type of alcohol you drink can affect the severity of your hangover, with darker alcohols like bourbon causing worse hangovers than lighter alcohols like vodka.

16:42 Drinking beer before liquor or vice versa doesn't actually matter when it comes to hangovers, as age seems to be a bigger factor in experiencing severe hangovers, and vomiting can help alleviate some of the symptoms by getting rid of the alcohol in the stomach.

20:39 Drinking all day can lead to a double hangover the following day, but if you keep going until you die, you'll never experience a hangover.

24:41 Coffee can alleviate a hangover headache because it is a vasoconstrictor, but it can also dehydrate you, so it's best to drink it with a lot of water. Eating fatty foods like fried food can help line your stomach and make digestion slower, and consuming foods like bananas and eggs can restore electrolyte balance and help with a hangover.

28:57 Taking acetaminophen for a hangover may provide temporary relief, but it can damage the liver in the long run, so it's better to take aspirin, a non-caffeinated, anti-inflammatory prostaglandin inhibitor, to alleviate hangover symptoms.

32:46 To prevent a hangover, it is recommended to eat before drinking, drink water, take multivitamins, drink in moderation, and avoid sugary drinks like red wine and bourbon.
