Hangover Impairs Judgment in Young Adults
December 18, 2009

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - It's not enough to "sleep it off" after a night of drinking.

According to a study released today, the effects of intoxication last long after the booze is out of the blood, not only leaving a nasty hangover but also slowing reaction times and the ability to concentrate the next morning.

Rhode Island and Massachusetts researchers found that it didn't matter whether the liquor consumed was clear or dark; the level of brain impairment was the same the next morning.

"People will be impaired the morning after - after the alcohol leaves the system," Dr. Damaris Rohsenow of the Brown University Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies in Providence, Rhode Island noted in a telephone interview with Reuters Health.
