Hangover — also known as alcohol hangover, or, medically, as veisalgia — is defined by the Alcohol Hangover Research Group as “the combination of negative mental and physical symptoms which can be experienced after a single episode of alcohol consumption, starting when blood alcohol concentration (BAC) approaches zero”.[1] Specific symptoms are not listed due to the variability in how individuals experience hangovers. However, the presence of hangover symptoms, regardless of their nature, is often sufficient to disrupt the performance of daily tasks and responsibilities.
