Bye regret, hammer and hangover

You wake up and in your mouth is a nest of dead birds. Your throat is bone dry. Your stomach is rebelling and your head is pounding. And what did you actually say and do yesterday? Learning for that exam today won't be anything at all. It's great that you don't have to worry about this at all right now.

Maybe it wasn't even that long ago that you were plagued by the above symptoms. A hangover can be horrific. Physically you have to recover a lot and mentally you can also get a hit. Because not knowing exactly what you have done and said is a bad feeling. And if you also see your day go up in smoke - because hangover, so no puff - that makes the rottenness complete.

hangover

The main culprit behind a hangover is fluid loss, also known as thirst. Alcohol encourages your kidneys to excrete extra fluid. This means you have to urinate more often and your body dries out. The loss of fluid makes you feel weak and tired, and causes a dry mouth. Furthermore, dehydration causes the fluid that is between your brain and skull to disappear. As a result, your brain 'bumps' against your skull, which is quite painful.

Another cause of your headaches and shaky feeling the day after, is 'acetaldehyde'. This toxic substance is created during the breakdown of alcohol. Your body also tries to break down this substance as quickly as possible. Do you have a major headache and difficulty keeping your glass of water upright? Then these are two indications that not all acetaldehyde has been removed yet.

As icing on the cake, you can also feel down the next day. Were you tired and a bit gloomy when you started drinking the day before? There is a good chance that your feeling will be reinforced by your hangover the next day.

Yes! No fat hangovers for you in the coming month. Hello fresh mornings and good mood!

sorry

Regret is an emotion that we all experience at one time or another. It is often accompanied by shame. Another uncomfortable feeling. Saying in a drunken stupor that your boyfriend is a selfish person, sending an unkind or desperate text to your ex, going on with a date than you originally intended… all of them moves that you can spare like a toothache. The next day, fragments of conversations and actions reach your consciousness. And with each new memory you feel yourself shrinking. All you want now is to crawl under the covers and eat a large fries special later.

It's great that you don't have to worry about this right now!

Study achievements

Effective studying is not possible if the man with the hammer has visited. You read what it says and then just as quickly forget it. There is no harm in skipping a study day once. If you do this regularly, this can have an impact on your figures. A prolonged period of non-performance due to drinking too much can lead to insecurity and sometimes even depression.

Insecurity? Depression? You are popping, because you feel good and strong!
