What Causes a Hangover?
Hangovers (after alcohol consumption) happen when the following 3 conditions occur:

  • Dehydration
  • Production of toxic chemicals from alcohol (example - acetaldehyde)
  • Depletion of the nutrients needed for brain function and to break down toxins (example - glutathione)

Some believe that the clearer in color a drink, the less likely it will lead to a hangover.

I bet the more that you drink, the more likely you will have a hangover too. 1 drink you may not experience a hangover, but 10 or more, I'm guessing you will. Guess that fits in with the dehydration bullet point. The more you drink the more dehydrated you will be... unless you are constantly drinking water with the alcohol.
