A study of hangovers tested the primary causes and outcomes of hangovers. They found that it is very difficult to determine exactly what kinds of alcohol consumption, under what conditions and timing, produces a worse hangover. There are many factors in effect, such as type of alcohol, brand-and the usage of add-ons, time of day and individual circadian rhythms and timing of subsequent drinks. Symptoms experienced by individuals are often different, even under similar conditions. Predictable symptoms do emerge such as tiredness, headaches. thirstiness, dizziness, nausea, etc. Even with the difficulty narrowing down hangovers researchers in 2017 established a link to lower levels of dizziness, headache, nausea, and weakness.
