一个宿醉是一系列发生的令人不愉快的身心和精神症状的集合heavy alcohol consumption。宿醉症状的严重程度可以取决于在许多因素上, such as how much alcohol was consumed and the type of alcohol. But hangovers are caused by only one thing—drinking too much alcohol.

How much is too much? Some people report hangover symptoms after consuming only two or three drinks, while some heavy drinkers never experience hangover symptoms at all. But for most people, the greater the amount of alcohol consumed and the longer the duration of alcohol consumption, the more severe the hangover symptoms.

Common Hangover Symptoms

根据国家酒精滥用和酗酒研究所,宿醉可以包括以下症状:

  • Fatigue, weakness, and thirst
  • Headache and muscle aches
  • 恶心,呕吐和胃痛
  • Decreased sleep, decreased deep sleep, and increased slow-wave sleep
  • Vertigo and sensitivity to light and sound
  • 减少注意力和浓度
  • 抑郁,焦虑和烦躁
  • 震颤,出汗,增加脉搏和血压

Intensity and Duration of Hangover Symptoms

这些症状的强度和特定的症状集可以因人的人和偶然而异。一个人可能会在一次出现恶心和头晕,但主要是下次头痛症状。

宿醉症状通常在饮酒会议结束后几个小时内开始,何时血液酒精浓度(BAC)开始落下。当BAC返回零时,症状通常是峰值。宿醉症状可以持续几小时到达24小时。

酒精中毒

第二天的酒精消费量过多会导致一般的萎靡不振的感觉。极端酒精消费会导致acute alcohol poisoningwhich can be life-threatening.

酒精中毒的症状可以包括许多与宿醉相同的症状,但通常更激烈和极端:

  • Confusion
  • 难以留下意识;无意识时不能觉醒
  • 无意识的呕吐
  • Slow heart rate and bluish-colored skin
  • 体温低;触摸感觉很冷
  • 缉获
  • Very slow or irregular breathing

如果您在饮酒后看到任何具有上述症状的人,请立即拨打911。留在这个人身边,试着把它们转身在他们身边,所以他们不会窒息自己的呕吐物。如果他们完全停止呼吸,请开始CPR。

即使您没有看到任何上述酒精中毒的症状,如果该人被淘汰并且不能被唤醒,它们可能面临死亡的风险。立即寻求医疗帮助。
