Getty A night of revelry can mean an uncomfortable day after. More commonly known as a hangover, this unpleasant phenomenon has been dogging humanity since our ancestors first happened upon fermentation. Your liver is working to break down the alcohol you consumed so your kidneys can clear it out ASAP.
Revelers have access to a variety of compounds, products and devices that purport to ease the pain. Hangovers are virtually guaranteed when you drink too much. That amount varies from person to person based on genetic factors as well as whether there are other compounds that formed along with ethanol in the fermentation process.
Over the course of a night of heavy drinking, your blood alcohol level continues to rise. Your body labors to break down the alcohol — consumed as ethanol in beer, wine or spirits — forming damaging oxygen free radicals and acetaldehyde, itself a harmful compound. Over time, your ethanol levels drop through this natural metabolic process.
