How long does it take for a hang-over to set in?!
Answers: I know that we process out one unit of alcohol per hour, so I might be able to work out how long until we are no longer drunk, but does a hang-over start while we're still drunk or does it start to happen some time after we sober up. I'm always asleep at this point, so I've never really noticed when one takes over from the other
A hang over definitely can and will start while you are still drunk, but the fact that you are drunk allows you not to notice the hangover as much as you would otherwise.
The main cause of a hangover is the extreme dehydration that all the alcohol you have put in your system has caused. While you are still drinking you will continue to hydrate your body because liquor does have water in it, so the your hangover will not really start until you have stop drinking. However, it will not take long after you stop drinking for you body to dry out and you will soon start feeling the effects of the hangover. Add to this the fact that your body is going in to a mini-shock because it wants more ethanol (the drug in alcohol) and you can start feeling pretty bad.
The best thing to do is to drink lots of water during and after a night of binge drinking... but this only leaves less room for the beer!
Hope this helps. :)
when the alcohol wears off, the hang over begins.
Good question. Mine usually last until I get some food in me the next day. If it's really bad it'll last until about 3:00 pm the next day.
when i start to sober up i get a hang over im usually throwing up and stuff. i dont get like the headache hangover, haha it sucks, but it takes like 5 hours id say or something like that.
