Hangxiety. Booze blues. Beer fear. These terms describe feelings of shame, guilt, or worry that can emerge after a night of drinking. While hangover anxiety — or"hangxiety" — may not be a diagnosed medical condition, it can significantly affect a person's quality of life. But what causes it?
Hangxiety and the brainAccording to a 2019 article published in the journal Alcohol and Alcoholism , the mild euphoria we experience after drinking alcohol is caused by temporary changes to our chemical messengers in the brain, called neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters play a major role in regulating our mood, and after they initially generate euphoria, sudden changes to their levels may be a major trigger for later symptoms of hangxiety. —Secular Organizations for Sobriety Dr.
What's the link between hangxiety and dehydration?Feeling extremely thirsty is a common hangover symptom, according to the Cleveland Clinic . Alcohol is a diuretic substance, which means it makes your body lose fluids more rapidly than normal. After a night of heavy drinking, this fluid loss can leave you feeling groggy and tired when you wake up.
A 2015 review published in the journal Alcohol suggested that alcohol consumption can disrupt one's sleep cycle and lowers the quality of sleep. Restful shut-eye is essential to good mental health, and a 2016 review published in journal Sleep Medicine suggested that sleep deprivation can increase people's baseline anxiety levels.
Why does hangxiety affect some people and not others?Everyone has a different degree of tolerance to alcohol, which can also vary over time. Some individuals can drink vast quantities of alcohol and only experience mild hangovers, while others struggle even after small quantities.
