for all ye folks who party

What is a hangover? It is basically, an over consumption of alcohol or the use of other drugs. You will most likely feel the sensation of extreme thirst (dehydration), feelings of extreme exhaustion, nausea, headaches, and in the likes of me, absolute shittiness, and decreased ability to spell.

An excess buildup of NADH plus lowered blood sugar level causes this response. This process is exacerbated with presence of alcohol. Excess NADH builds up and slows down gluconeogenesis in the liver, thus causing hypoglycemia.

For those who are too lazy to click on definitions:

alcohol: try a pub.
dehydration: drinking heaps of sea water.
nausea: why not try http://sifter.org/~max/disgusting.html.
headache: when there's little men pounding their fists inside your brain wall.
NADH: a particle that plays a key role in producing sugars for cellular respiration.
glucogenesis: just a fancy name to describe 'making sugars'.
hypoglycemia: not a good feeling. Lack of sugar, i.e., glucose starved.

So, let's get stuffed!
