Brief summary
Does mixing alcohol make hangover worse?
Detailed description
Hangover is the most commonly occurring morbidity associated with heavy drinking. Our aim was to test the hypothesis that mixing alcoholic drinks as compared to drinking one type of alcohol only (beer, wine or spirits) associate with a higher alcohol intake and worse hangover.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Acute Hangover Severity Scale (AHSS) | Baseline | AHSS is a 12-item alcohol hangover measurement tool recommended for application in hangover research with a predictive validity of 92.4 %, significantly higher than that of other hangover scales (Penning et al., 2012). Alcohol hangover was measured thrice the day after drinking; in the morning immediately after waking up, at midday, and in the afternoon. The individual participant assessed his or her own hangover the day after. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of drinks | Baseline | Total number of drinks defined as 12 g of alcohol consumed during evening |
| Acute Hangover Severity Scale (AHSS) 2 | after 4 hours | AHSS is a 12-item alcohol hangover measurement tool recommended for application in hangover research with a predictive validity of 92.4 %, significantly higher than that of other hangover scales (Penning et al., 2012). Alcohol hangover was measured thrice the day after drinking; in the morning immediately after waking up, at midday, and in the afternoon. The individual participant assessed his or her own hangover the day after. |
| Acute Hangover Severity Scale (AHSS) 3 | after 8 hours | AHSS is a 12-item alcohol hangover measurement tool recommended for application in hangover research with a predictive validity of 92.4 %, significantly higher than that of other hangover scales (Penning et al., 2012). Alcohol hangover was measured thrice the day after drinking; in the morning immediately after waking up, at midday, and in the afternoon. The individual participant assessed his or her own hangover the day after. |
