Very simple question. WHy do we get headache after drinking liquer and not enough sleep?

In essence, it is a strong drug and it has side effects while you're under it's influence and when your body tries to get clear of it.  Headaches is the main thing...  You've actually introduced something to your brain that has disturbed the natural process of things and it seems only natural that a headache would insue.  Check out the website above and you'll see what alcohol does to the human body....

Answer 2

duh... alcohol kill brain cells, sleep repair them!!!  

Answer 3

Alcohol does dehydrate the body, but that is not the only reason people get headaches from it.  Some derivatives such as wheat, potato, grain, rice, soy, etc...may be unsettling to some especially if they have an allergy to those items.  The old adage that women get loaded before men based on body weight is not true.

Alcohol is readily absorbed from the stomach and small intestine. Alcohol cannot be stored, and 90% is metabolized through oxidation. Dehydrogenase is the enzyme which breaks down alcohol in the body, and women naturally have lower levels of this enzyme. This is why women are more susceptible to the effects of alcohol, and not solely based on body weight as widely believed.

Sleep is just a luxury that you are not concious when you body is trying its best to detoxify.  Plus, it is another 8 hour window where you are not hydrating or trying to combat the effects alcohol is doing to your body.  Lack of sleep is just straining your immune system while also straining your digestive system.  So...always drink WATER if you plan on having cocktails.  Ice in your jack daniels doesn't count as water supplementation either!

Answer 4

You didn't drink enough.

Answer 5

Alcohol dehydrates the human body.  When the body gets lower on fluids, all sorts of side effects occur, including headaches.  The best hangover prevention method, other than not drinking, is to drink plenty of water along with the booze.
