Hair of the dog, baby!
A recent study conducted by public health researchers suggests that hangovers actually do not deter a drinker from hitting the bottle again.
386 American college students and young adults were asked to keep a drinking diary for three weeks in which they reported every morning whether or not they had a a hangover and how soon they were likely to have their next drink.
Surprisingly, researchers found no difference between the mornings drinkers had hangovers and those in which they did not. However, when they looked at each subject’s actual drink log, it did show those with hangovers waiting an extra six hours before they started pounding some Natty Ice again.
According to one expert, it is “probably a waste of time to discuss hangovers when trying to motivate a problem drinker to drink less or drink less often.”
Researchers did say that some diary entries were left blank. That’s probably because the subjects were too hungover to write anything down or too embarrassed to write about the fat chick they hooked up with the night before.
