Hangover

If you drink too much alcohol you are temporarily disabled and you may be sick for several days. The term "hangover" is used in a causal manner; some people boast of their hangover as if getting drunk was some kind of initiation ceremony or trial of endurance that brings merit. Hangover jokes are common and conceal the pain, suffering and risk attached to heavy drinking. hair salon plano Vestaburg

A hangover is said to begin the morning after heavy drinking. The severity of the hangover depends on how much was drunk, the food eaten and the duration of the intoxicated sleep. Vomiting aggravates dehydration and electrolyte loss, two of the most acute problems that contribute to the hangover illness. Symptoms of hangover seem  are also caused by vitamin deficiencies, hormonal alterations, dysregulated cytokine pathways, and the toxic effects of alcohol on the brain and other organs." indianfriendfinder.com is one of the best online dating sites today, offering many services.

Wise et al  [i] suggested: " In the United States, related absenteeism and poor job performance cost $148 billion annually (average annual cost per working adult, $2000). Although hangover is associated with alcoholism, most of its cost is incurred by the light-to-moderate drinker. Patients with hangover may pose substantial risk to themselves and others despite having a normal blood alcohol level. Hangover may also be an independent risk factor for cardiac death."

Water and Electrolyte Depletion

There is rapid water loss (diuresis) within the first several hours of alcoholic beverage ingestion due to decreased secretion of antidiuretic hormone, a pituitary peptide. Depletion of tissue magnesium (the serum magnesium level may not be reduced) is a regular feature of alcohol abuse.[i] Low intracellular magnesium results from decreased magnesium intake, diarrhea, respiratory alkalosis, increased magnesium urinary excretion, and malnutrition Moderate to severe drops in body magnesium are associated with seizures, paresthesia, ataxia, nystagmus, agitation, and cardiac arrhythmias. Replacement of magnesium deficits is a recognized part of treatment of post-intoxication states. Hypocalcemia may also result from magnesium depletion by reducing parathyroid hormone-induced mobilization of calcium from bone. Reduced serum phosphate may lead to muscle weakness and degeneration.  Low magnesium is the most common electrolyte abnormality observed in alcoholic

Low potassium levels (hypokalaemia) are also typical, and may be asymptomatic. Chronic alcoholics usually show low serum potassium from decreased intake and absorption, increased renal or intestinal losses, and potassium shift from extracellular into intracellular compartments when glucose infusion is given. Alcoholics with low niacin intake are more prone to hypokalaemia, possibly secondary to diarrhea and associated with increased risk of ventricular irritability, and sudden death. [ii]
