Actually, while you feel hungry when you have a hangover, your body is dehydrated and therefore thirsty. Alot of times when the body is thirsty it comes across as hunger which is where people make the mistake of overeating. If you drink plenty of water prior to and after drinking, you will remain hydrated and will not have the munchies.

not healthy

I get that a lot too. I think its cause when your drinkin your not thinking about food cause your belly is full. Expecially if your a beer drinker like me. Once you sober up the next day your body knows it needs food. That's what I think. Hope that helps.

i don't know....
mayb food is just to help you recover from the heavy alcohol consumption...
i don't drink (and never will) but i think thats y but if you get hungry everytime you get a hangover....go to your doctor...
;D

i get that alot too

idk..i think just about everyone is like that....

Dunno, maybe cause it dehydrates your body...

Because you forgot to eat! Go have another beer!

It's mostly the dehydration, but it also makes your blood sugar crash (which makes you hungry, especially for carbs).

I also crave greasy foods....Mexican, Pizza, burgers. I don't know why.

Alcohol is a carbohydrate, and any carb. tends to stimulate insulin production, making you want more carb's. It's hormonal.

and Kudzu is supposed to help you avoid craving alcohol
