Alcohol Hangover Across the Lifespan: Impact Of Sex and Age

ConclusionsHangover severity declines with age, even after controlling for eBAC or the amount of alcohol consumed.

The relationship between age and hangover severity is strongly mediated by subjective intoxication. Pain sensitivity, lower with aging, might be a mediator.
