A hangover is a collection of unpleasant physical and mental symptoms that occur after a session of heavy alcohol consumption. The severity of hangover symptoms can depend on many factors, such as how much alcohol was consumed and the type of alcohol, but hangovers are caused by only one thing -- drinking too much alcohol.
Symptoms of a hangover generally tend to stay the same and if any of us have ever drunk too much than we also have a general idea of what these symptoms consist of. The symptoms of a hangover are as a result of the causes- dehydration and over stimulation of the liver. The symptoms of a hangover can vary in severity and are entirely personal and usually different to each person drinking depending on many factors. Weight, height, gender, and even age all can play a part. Symptoms of a hangover are all unpleasant and due to the fact that the body truly is not meant to consume alcohol.
