Hangover

Hangover, is "sober" people from the drunken state wake up, recovery of consciousness or self-control response. Usually not clear naturally, instead of using quick hangover in some way, play the purpose of saving time, reducing alcohol harm to human purposes. Drunken reason We drink wine daily main ingredient is ethanol. Alcohol is ethanol, alcohol dehydrogenase with the human body if it can be broken down into acetaldehyde to ethanol. Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, acetaldehyde and then through the decomposition into acetic acid. Acetic acid is not harmful to humans, and then will be broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Ethanol and acetaldehyde on the human body the most damaging. In humans, there is alcohol dehydrogenase, and the number is basically equal. But the lack of aldehyde dehydrogenase people more. This lack of aldehyde dehydrogenase, the acetaldehyde to acetic acid can not be completely broken down, but remain in the body to acetaldehyde, nausea Yu Tu people after drinking, drunken coma and other symptoms of discomfort. Thus, poor drinking of alcoholic beverages by persons below a reasonable standard, that is the insufficient number of aldehyde dehydrogenase or complete lack of people. For good drinking, if drinking too much, too fast, more than the ability of the decomposition of aldehyde dehydrogenase, also occur drunk.
 
People are drunk, depending on blood alcohol concentration. When the blood alcohol concentration of 0.05% -0.1%, the people began to dim, carefree tipsy; to achieve 0.3%, people will slurred speech, staggering gait, which is what we often say a drunk; if reached 0.7% of people will die. For ethanol tolerance, vary widely between people. This is due to gastrointestinal absorption and liver metabolism capacity due to a difference. Also resulted in the difference between the amount of alcohol. Hangover theory The decomposition of alcohol metabolism in the human body three ways: the liver, skin and respiratory system; about 95% of the liver enzyme system by oxidative metabolism.
 
Aldehyde dehydrogenase alcohol dehydrogenase alcohol (ethanol) - acetaldehyde - acetic acid (carbon dioxide and water) CH3CH2OH - C2H4O - C2H4O2 (CO2 \ H2O) Alcohol catabolism in the human body mainly by the liver enzyme system in the two enzymes: one is the alcohol dehydrogenase, the other is aldehyde dehydrogenase. Alcohol dehydrogenase alcohol molecules can hydrogen atoms in the two took off, break down the alcohol into acetaldehyde. Aldehyde dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde is able to take off in the two hydrogen atoms, the acetaldehyde into acetic acid, and ultimately broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Honey hangover In the drunk, drink honey water effectively reduce headache symptoms. (Direct use of cold water or warm water 30-60 ml high-quality honey, and mix thoroughly you can drink) U.S. National Headache Foundation, the researchers point out that this is because honey contains a special kind of fructose, can promote the decomposition of alcohol absorption, reduce headaches, particularly red wine-induced headaches. In addition there are hypnotic effects of honey, can make people fall asleep quickly and wake up the next day is not a headache.
