“…The severity of these symptoms varies between and within subjects, for example depending on the type of alcoholic beverage, the presence or absence of congeners (Pawan, 1973), the amount of alcohol consumed, drinking pattern, and drinking history. The actual cause(s) of hangover are yet unknown, but a relation with the toxic effects of one of ethanol's major metabolic products, that is, acetaldehyde (Swift and Davidson, 1998;Wiese et al, 2000), has been suggested, since acetaldehyde produces effects similar to adverse effects observed in the alcohol hangover state. In addition, several other factors have been suggested to contribute to alcohol hangover, including dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, gastrointestinal disturbances, low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia), and sleep and biological rhythm disturbances (Swift and Davidson, 1998).…”

The impairing effects on memory functioning after acute alcohol intoxication in healthy volunteers and after chronic use in alcoholics are well established. However, research determining the next-morning effects of a single episode of binge drinking on memory functioning is scarce. A total of 48 healthy volunteers participated in a single-blind study comprising an evening (baseline) session, followed by a treatment administration (ethanol 1.4 g/kg or placebo), and a morning session. Memory was tested with a word-learning test (including immediate and delayed recall, and recognition). Further, a 45-min Mackworth clock test for measuring vigilance was included (parameters: number of hits and false alarms) and subjective alertness was assessed, to infer whether word-learning test findings reflect sedation or specific memory impairments. Delayed recall in the morning session was significantly worse in the alcohol group when compared to the placebo group (F 1,42 ¼ 6.0, po0.02). In contrast, immediate recall and recognition were unimpaired in the alcohol group. In the morning session, relative to the placebo group, subjective alertness was significantly reduced in the alcohol group before and after the tests (F 1,44 ¼ 8.7, po0.005; F 1,44 ¼ 13.3, po0.001, respectively). However, in the Mackworth clock test, the alcohol group and placebo group did not differ significantly in the morning session. The specific findings of impaired delayed recall show that memory retrieval processes are significantly impaired during alcohol hangover. Vigilance performance was not significantly affected, indicating that this memory impairment does not reflect sedation.

“…Since then, we can witness a steady stream of publications, including several useful literature reviews (e.g. Swift & Davidson 1998;Wiese et al 2000;Verster 2008). The most recent contributions include a study on the interrelation of hangover symptoms (Penning et al 2012) and a special issue on hangover effects on workers' behaviour (i.e.…”

“…Span & Earleywine 1999) and certain similarities between the two can be identified (e.g. Swift & Davidson 1998: 57); however, the two are not the same (Penning et al 2010), and a hangover is not necessarily connected with alcohol addiction (Harburg et al 1981;Wiese et al 2000). Rather, hangover is simply the consequence of alcohol consumption, or some certain excessive amount of alcohol consumption.…”

Abstract:Even though hangover is a widespread phenomenon in many societies, it has received very scant systematic attention in social sciences. This article is based on publications from different disciplines (medicine, cultural history, social anthropology, sociology, etc.), my own observations, and interviews with fellow social anthropologists. After a general outline of the phenomenon, I will focus on some psychological aspects of hangover: guilt and vulnerability, but also the idea of complicity. These seem to combine in different ways not only in the selfperception of hung-over individuals: they also inform social perceptions of the consequences of excessive alcohol intake. They may be related to specific practices and patterns of drinking (as exemplified by observations from Siberia and the Far North of Russia), though large-scale comparisons are methodologically and ethically problematic. Examining the interrelation of hangover, responsibility, and transgression, the article concludes that the social perception of hangover involves different modes of human non-perfection.Keywords: alcohol hangover, complicity, guilt, veisalgia, vulnerability Notwithstanding countless books and articles on alcohol consumption (in Russia and elsewhere), hangover has remained a very enigmatic topic. This article, initially prepared for the Tartu 2013 workshop on the particularities of alcohol consumption in the Far North of Russia, emerged from my interest in the rites and practices of excessive drinking, the idea of transgression, and the question of how people describe, and deal with, the 'day after'. If practices of drinking bear certain cultural specifics 1 , can we suppose that experiences of hangover do so, too?While not claiming to give a definite answer, in this article I shall try to lay some groundwork for a cross-cultural study of hangover (pohmel'e in Russian 2 ). With the aim to give a first appraisal of how hangover is defined and explained, the first part of the article draws mainly on medical literature. Later, the focus will be on those aspects that fall into the psychological rather than physiological domain: here I rely on interviews that I conducted with eight fellow social anthropologists and one medical expert in 2013 and 2014, as well as on my own observations.

: The study was done to investigate the effects of the extracts from the different parts of Lythrum salicaria (LS) on liver protective activities in chronically alcohol-treated rats. SD male rats except normal animals were administrated with alcohol (30 ㎖ of 30%~40% ethanol/㎏/day) and the extracts (300 ㎎/㎏/day) for 10 weeks. Chronic alcohol administration decreased body weight, high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and the reduced form-glutathione (GSH), whereas increased the ethanol content, glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, triglyceride in blood/serum and the ratio of the oxidized form of glutathione (GSSG) and total GSH (GSSG/total GSH) in liver tissue. Groups treated with the extracts of leaf, root and stem, showed decrease in GOT, total cholesterol and GSSG/total GSH and increase in hepatic aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), total GSH and serum albumin. Administration with the root extract of LS decreased blood ethanol content compared with the other part extracts. But, serum triglyceride values in rats treated with root and stem extract were higher than that of the negative control animals. Flower extract-fed group showed decrease in body weight and serum triglyceride, but increase in the ratio of GOT and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT), and GSSG/total GSH. From the results, we conclude that the extracts of root and leaf among the plant parts of LS might be useful for the amelioration of the chronic alcohol-induced liver demage of rat.
