The interrelation between headaches may vary with age, sex, associated smoking habit, type and amount of drinks, pattern or frequency of drinking habits, associated stress, and so forth .…”

“…In general, hangover is characterized by unpleasant physical and mental symptoms after alcohol consumption, such as dizziness, headache, fatigue and muscle pain [6,7]. In addition, hangover has adverse social and economical influence, such as a high incidence rate of traffic and violence accidents as well as decreased occupational skill and performance [8].…”

Alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine and spirits are widely consumed around the world. However, alcohol and its metabolite acetaldehyde are toxic and harmful to human beings. Chronic alcohol use disorder or occasional binge drinking can cause a wide range of health problems, such as hangover, liver damage and cancer. Some natural products such as traditional herbs, fruits, and vegetables might be potential dietary supplements or medicinal products for the prevention and treatment of the problems caused by excessive alcohol consumption. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of effective natural products for the prevention and treatment of hangover and alcohol use disorder, and special emphasis is paid to the possible functional component(s) and related mechanism(s) of action.

“…In our case series, 5/7 patients had daily use of alcohol (from 1 to 22 UA a day), and another subject had reported episodic heavy alcohol intake. The role of alcohol in CH patients is quite well investigated; even if there are conflicting data regarding prevalence or patterns of consumption across studies and countries, alcohol intake appears to trigger CH attacks in those patients so they reported avoiding alcohol consumption in cluster periods . Although a problematic use of alcohol was reported in 6 subjects of our case series, there was no notion of a specific change in alcohol consumption during cluster periods.…”

“…However, for 2 patients (Cases 2 and 5), alcohol intake was described as a trigger factor of CH. The effect of alcohol itself as others components (histamine, sulfites, tyramine, and tannins) and their implications in inflammatory and vasodilatory mechanisms are still being explored …”

Objective To describe a case series of 7 patients presenting cluster headache (CH) criteria and a substance use disorder, reported to a French Addictovigilance center. Then, to assess clinical, pharmacological, and neurobiological linkages between substance use and CH onset. Background CH patients are presenting a higher prevalence of comorbidities, among which the use of psychoactive substances, licit or illicit, have been explored by a few authors. Recently, 3 cases of CH in patients seen in the hospital‐based addiction care center have been reported to the Toulouse addictovigilance center. Methods Other cases have been identified in the same tertiary hospital after a collaborative investigation done with the departments of neurology and psychiatry and included in the case series. A narrative review was performed to assess the potential of psychoactive substance consumption to induce or facilitate CH. Results From 2016 to 2018, 6 males and 1 female aged between 26 and 54 years old, presenting CH criteria and a substance use disorder, were included in our case series. Among substances used, there are: (1) daily use of tobacco and alcohol in 5/7 subjects; (2) daily or almost daily use of cocaine in 5/7 subjects; (3) regular use of cannabis before attacks beginning in 4/7 subjects; and (4) opioids, as a substitutive medication or abused, in 5/7 subjects. The intranasal route administration is reported by all the subjects and precedes the beginning of attacks for 5/7 subjects. Conclusions We have found a CH prevalence of 0.9% in our studied population, while it is estimated at 0.1% in the general population. The coexistence of cluster headache and addiction behaviors reflects possible common neurobiological pathways, which would include the hypothalamus. Research could be conducted on the potential of hypothalamic therapeutic targets.

Headache and Alcohol

Abstract: Based on the literature, there is no reason to tell headache patients in general to abstain from alcohol. Individual dispositions as well as cultural factors may play a role in alcohol-induced headache.
