Hangover: Know It Too Well




"The Hangover" (portrait of Suzanne Valadon, by Toulouse-Lautrec)

A hangover (pronounced /ˈhæŋoʊvər/) (veisalgia) or delayed alcohol induced headache describes the sum of unpleasant physiological effects following heavy consumption of alcoholic beverages. The most commonly reported characteristics of a hangover include headache, sensitivity to light and noise, lethargy, dysphoria, diarrhea and thirst, typically after the intoxicating effects of the alcohol begin to wear off. While a hangover can be experienced at any time, generally speaking, a hangover is experienced the morning after a night of heavy drinking. In addition to the physical symptoms, a hangover may also induce psychological symptoms including heightened feelings of depression and anxiety.

Have you Seen This Film? I did a couple of years ago, it left me numb but deeply moved. La Vie En Rose: Tragic and Powerful Advanced Alcholism of a Brillant Female Artist, Edith Piaf's life. An incredible and powerful film; HIGHLY Recommended.
