Doctors do not fully understand hangovers, but some research suggests the following factors may play a role in hangovers -

➡️Type and amount of drink.

Some beverages have more congeners than others. These trace compounds may intensify hangovers. Vodka, for example, has almost no congeners, while bourbon has many. According to a 2010 paper, hangover rates are higher when people drink alcohol that contains more congeners. Another group of chemicals, called sulfites, might cause hangovers after drinking wine.

➡️Other drugs.

Other drugs may intensify the effects of alcohol or change how the body responds to drinking.

➡️Overall health.

Various health conditions may increase the risk of a hangover. For example, some research shows that hangovers cause inflammation. Diseases that also cause inflammation, such as diabetes, might affect a person’s chances of getting a hangover.

Sleep disruption.

Some people who drink stay up late doing so. This fatigue may cause a hangover or intensify its effects.

➡️Biological factors.

Sex, age, and body type may affect how people experience hangovers. Some people may even have a genetic disposition for worse hangovers than others.
