Ethanol and Me

[Backdated to 17 Dec 2006]
I woke up with a little hangover so I did a bit of research.

Hangovers are multi-causal. Ethanol has a dehydrating effect (such substances are known as diuretics), which causes headaches, dry mouth, and lethargy. Dehydration causes the brain to shrink away from the skull slightly.[3]
Wow, doesn't that sound scary?

Alcohol is a laxative.
Boy, I hate this.

Subject may become sleepy
Am I the only person in the world who has trouble sleeping after drinking??

    You're weird.

    Just like me. Warm milk or a triple-shot expresso have the same effect for me with regards to helping me stay awake. In fact, I seem to sleep better after having coffee. There was even a period of time where my pre-sleep ritual consists of a cup of coffee (somewhat like how some kids drink a cup of milk or Milo before bed).

    I sleep best after alcohol. Or during lectures. They must be linked.
