What is a hangover?

The formal name for a hangov¬er is veisalgia, from the Norwegian word for "uneasiness following debauchery" (kveis) and the Greek word for "pain" (algia) -- an appropriate title considering the uncomfortable symptoms experienced by the average drinker. A hangover is caused by a combination of the toxic by-product of alcohol metabolism (acetaldehyde), dehydration, and Vitamin A, B (particularly B6) and C depletion caused by the chemical action of alcohol on your system. The symptoms are usually a dry mouth, nausea, fatigue, dizziness and headache and are caused by a combination of these factors.

Apart from the obvious toxic effects, you should realize you're suffering the effects of a mild overdose of a depressant drug and your nerves are reacting accordingly, and you have also flushed a significant quantity of vitamins and nutrients from your system causing a degree of metabolic shock that your body is struggling to compensate against. This is why hangover symptoms often include disorientation and "the jitters".

Some drinks give you worse hangovers than others due to the actions of impurities called Congeners. While it's the ethyl alcohol (ethanol) that gets you drunk, amyl-alcohol, butyl- alcohol, methyl-alcohol, propyl-alcohol, and isopropyl-alcohol is also found in most drinks to varying degrees, and the concentration of these Congeners will go a long way to determining the severity of the hangover.

Vodka and gin (clear liquors) are generally lower in congeners than whisky, rum and bourbon, due to the filtering process involved, and hence usually give a less intense hangover. Unfortunately the congeners also give flavor, smell and appearance to alcohol.

Another contributor to the hangover is the "freshness" of the alcohol since the natural oxidation product of ethanol is also acetaldehyde. Finishing off an already open bottle of red, or drinking beer that's been in the boot of your car for a week, will provide you with a ready made supply of acetaldehyde so you don't have to wait for your liver to make it in order to have a really good hangover.

What are the common symptoms of a hangover?

The following are the most common symptoms that people usually experience after a night of heavy alcohol consumption:

What causes the symptoms of a hangover?

Ethanol gets broken down by your liver with the aid of enzymes. This chemical reaction does numerous things including impairing the liver’s capability to deliver glucose to the brain. Glucose is accountable for the brain’s energy and with out energy to the brain someone will become moody, depressed and have decreased awareness. The ethanol contained in alcoholic beverages has a dehydrating effect which is caused by excessive urination due to excessive alcohol consumption. This creates an imbalance of electrolytes, resulting in low energy, dizziness, body aches and extreme thirst, etc. Additionally, alcohol causes changes in the blood sugar levels. Once the blood sugar levels fall in your body, there is a tendency to feel very weak, physically worn out and irritable. Consuming alcohol causes your digestive tract to inflame which will result in nausea, vomiting, and stomach pains. Alcohol will intoxicate the liver, which can cause excessive muscle weakness and stomach pain in addition to depleting minerals from the kidneys. This effect can be prevented by taking weekend warriors before you go to bed.

How Weekend Warriors® Prevent Hangovers

When you drink, your body catabolizes or “breaking down” the alcohol, producing harmful bi-products and toxins such as acetaldehyde that wreak havoc on your body. Weekend Warriors® advanced botanical formula works to immediately neutralize those toxins, detoxifies the liver and protects it from damage from the alcohol as well as reverses liver damage, slows aging, helping to protect you against lung disease if you smoke and drink, and it supports your heart if you mix with energy drinks. All that and it prevents hangover symptoms such as dry mouth, nausea, fatigue, dizziness and headaches.

Why do Weekend Warriors® work?

You are just waking up after a night of partying like a rock star but your not… you’re a Weekend Warrior. So you need this product, Weekend Warriors® help prevent hangovers from even starting by protecting the body from the damaging poisons in alcohol before they can do any harm. Aspirin and comparable drugs simply lessen the symptoms and effects of a hangover after the harm has occurred. Acetaminophen (Tylenol, paracetamol) is capable of injuring the liver, kidneys, heart and central nervous system which can occur within hours of overdose. Our pharmaceutical grade herbal extract can reduce the toxicity to the liver caused by many drugs, including phenothiazines, acetaminophen and alcohol. One of the active ingredients is the treatment of choice in conventional medicine for acetaminophen overdose. Again, the main ingredients in weekend warriors are also used in the treatment of liver disease including hepatitis and cirrhosis.
