“…The AHS total (mean) score is valid as it was significantly affected by previous evening's consumption of alcohol versus placebo yet was not affected by demographic variables or recent drinking history. Even though the amount of alcohol administered was probably much lower than many people drink when they report hangovers, even this relatively mild hangover was detectable, consistent with BrAC levels producing increased hangover symptoms in studies by others (e.g., Chapman, 1970;Kruisselbrink et al, 2006).…”

“…Some experiments have used items assessing withdrawal rather than hangover (e.g., McCaul et al, 1991;Span & Earlywine, 1999) or hangover symptoms plus cognitive reactions such as guilt (e.g., Span & Earlywine, 1999) or hangover symptoms plus a withdrawal sign invalid for hangover (Kruisselbrink et al, 2006) or gave no information about item selection or validity (e.g., Finnigan et al, 2005). The present study developed an Acute Hangover Scale (AHS) based on symptoms supported in experimental investigations of hangover, with psychometric determination of items to retain, reliability and validity.…”

Purpose-No psychometrically established measure of acute hangover symptoms is published and available to use in experimental investigations. The present investigation combined data across three studies of residual alcohol effects to establish the properties of a new Acute Hangover Scale (AHS) based on symptoms supported in previous lab studies.Methods-Professional mariners from a Swedish maritime academy (n = 54) and young adult students/recent graduates of urban U.S. universities (n = 135) participated in one of three withinsubjects' studies of residual effects of heavy drinking (M = .114 g% breath alcohol concentration [BrAC]). All drank placebo one evening and alcoholic drinks another evening followed by an 8-hour sleep period before completing the AHS 10-20 min after awakening.Results-The AHS showed excellent internal consistency reliability the morning after alcohol. The AHS mean score and each item were significantly affected by beverage but not demographics or typical drinking, supporting validity.Conclusions-The AHS is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing acute hangover symptoms in experimental investigations of residual alcohol effects.

The effect of alcohol hangover on choice response time

et al. 2016

The effect of alcohol hangover on cognitive processing has received little attention.We explored the effect of alcohol hangover on choice response time (RT), a dominant dependent variable in cognitive research. Prior research of the effect of hangover on RT has produced mixed findings; all studies reviewed relied exclusively on estimates of central tendency (e.g., mean RT), which has limited information value. Here we present novel analytical methods by going beyond mean RT analysis. Specifically, we examined performance in hangover conditions (N = 31) across the whole RT distribution by fitting exGaussian models to participant data, providing a formal description of the RT distribution.This analysis showed detriments to performance under hangover conditions at the slower end of the RT distribution and increased RT variance under hangover conditions. We also fitted an explicit mathematical process model of choice RT-the diffusion model-which estimates parameters reflecting psychologically-meaningful processes underlying choice RT. This analysis showed that hangover reduced information processing efficiency during response selection, and increased response caution; changes in these parameters reflect hangover affecting core decisional-components of RT performance. The implications of the data as well as the methods used for hangover research are discussed. The Effect of Alcohol Hangover on Choice Response TimeAlcohol hangover refers to the set of adverse symptoms experienced following alcohol consumption once alcohol has been eliminated from the blood (Verster et al., 2010).A number of biological mechanisms underlying hangover have been put forward such as the metabolism of congeners (alcohols in drinks other than ethanol) such as methanol, imbalance in the immune system and reduced blood glucose concentration (Penning et al., 2010), as well as acetaldehyde level increase, dehydration, sleep deprivation and insufficient eating (Verster et al., 2003). Although researchers have some understanding of the physiological effects of hangover, much less is known about the cognitive effects of hangover (Prat, Adan, Pérez-Pàmies & Sànchez-Turet, 2008;Prat, Adan & Sánchez-Turet, 2009).Stephens, Grange, Jones, and Owen (2014) provided a review of studies which have investigated the effects of alcohol hangover on general cognition. They reviewed the growing evidence base that shows hangover negatively affects core cognitive functions such as divided attention (e.g., Roehrs et al., 1991), sustained attention (e.g., Anderson & Dawson, 1999;McKinney et al., 2012; Rohsenow et al., 2010), attentional selection (e.g., McKinney et al., 2012), and some executive functions (e.g., Streufert et al., 1995).The focus of the present study was on the effect of alcohol hangover on response time (RT). Simple RT requires no choice between response alternatives, and is merely a reaction to an external stimulus (e.g., "Press the space bar as soon as you see a flash on the screen").Choice RT, in contrast, requires participants to make a ...

“…However, evidence for the hangover effect has generally been inconsistent. For example, several studies have failed to show any protracted impairment from alcohol on simple, psychomotor skills, such as RT and coordination (e.g., Chait & Perry, 1994; Finnigan et al, 1998; Kruisselbrink et al, 2006). A lack of prolonged impairment of motor performance is consistent with our current findings that showed the initial alcohol-induced impairments of these behaviors began to recover early during the time-course on the descending limb of the curve even while BACs were still elevated (i.e., > 50 mg/100 ml).…”

Protracted impairment of impulse control under an acute dose of alcohol: A time-course analysis

Alcohol is well-known for impairing impulse control as well as its disruptive effects on other aspects of behavioral functioning, such as motor control. Time-course analyses during a single dose show rapid development of acute tolerance to impairment of motor coordination, reaction time, and levels of subjective intoxication, but no acute tolerance to impairment of the ability to inhibit responses. Evidence for a possible lag in tolerance development to the impairing effects of alcohol on inhibitory control suggests that, as drinkers’ blood alcohol concentration (BAC) declines, they might exhibit prolonged impulsivity despite having an unimpaired ability to initiate action. The present study extended the time-course analysis to examine the recovery of inhibitory control under a dose of alcohol as drinkers’ BAC descended from a peak of 80 mg/100 ml to a zero level. Twenty-four healthy adults were tested following 0.65 g/kg alcohol and a placebo in a counterbalanced order. They performed a cued go/no-go task that measured response inhibition. They also performed tasks that assessed reaction time, motor coordination, and completed ratings of their subjective levels of intoxication. Alcohol initially impaired inhibitory control, response time, and motor coordination and increased subjective ratings of intoxication. However, acute tolerance to the impairing effects of alcohol was observed for measures of response time, motor coordination, and ratings of intoxication and these measures returned to sober (i.e., placebo) levels by the time BAC fell to near zero. By contrast, impairment of inhibitory control showed no acute tolerance and remained impaired even when drinkers’ BAC returned to near zero. Taken together, these results indicate that the disinhibiting effects of alcohol are present even when the impairing effects of alcohol on other aspects of behavior have diminished under the dose. These findings could provide a greater understanding of impulsive behaviors during the descending limb of intoxication.
