What CAUSES a Hangover?

Carbonated drinks

Carbonation in drinks can speed up the metabolism process…as well as intoxication for many.

One great example is champagne. Ever noticed how much faster intoxication hits you when drinking sparkling wine?

In addition, once you have started drinking carbonated beverages, your body has adjusted to the type of drink being consumed and if a different non-carbonated hard liquor drink is consumed soon thereafter, your body will not have enough time to modify its metabolism process and that hard liquor will not be processed properly as it passes through your system. This will most likely assist in a nasty hangover the next day.

Think of a lighter drink like a salad and a hard liquor as meat or high-protein food. Which takes longer to process?
