Proceedings of the 2010 Symposium on Hangover and Other Residual Alcohol Effects: Predictors and Consequences

Abstract

The importance of hangover research lies in its effects on student and worker performance and the implications of hangover-related impairment for safety and worker productivity. Few previous hangover studies used rigorous laboratory methods that controlled with matched placebo, ensured that next-day performance was measured when BAC was at or near zero, and used validated hangover measures. Recently, consensus was reached on methodological issues of alcohol hangover research [1].
