The short version

According to researchers at Stanford University and the University of California, some people can experience a hangover that lasts two days or longer, even with moderate alcohol consumption. If you drink large amounts of alcohol regularly, exhaustion and pain after alcohol treatment can occur, and in some cases can be the start of severe alcohol withdrawal. Factors such as age, genetics and drinking habits can affect the duration of hangovers. The researchers emphasize the importance of moderate alcohol consumption to avoid long-term hangovers, and point out that continuous multi-day hangovers can be a sign of problematic alcohol consumption.

The summary is created with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and quality assured by Aftenposten’s journalists.
