Ask HN: Are there any studies on how alcohol impacts mood in the days after?

8 points·arikr··5 comments

I'd like to see a study on how alcohol on day 0 impacts mood on days 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

I don't know of any, but I would suspect that the alcohol itself has less of an impact on mood days later than the other compounds usually present like fusels, etc. Red wine makes me feel the worst afterwards, but I've gotten wasted on only drinks with refined liquor added and was hopping and skipping the morning after.

Here is a study of one. My next day mood is so predictably awful I pretty much cut alcohol to zero. Like a little buzz well as the next guy but the price for me is just too high. My wife doesn’t affect at all the next day.

studies that show how dehydration affects mood?

studies that show how mood is affected by next day regret /shame /stds aka STIs /unplanned pregnancy ?

I've seen some people's mood change when they sobered up and saw the card receipts being much more than they should of spent.

there's some radio commercials talking about the affect on mood when you can't get a date and in live in moms basement because the costs of DUI offense put you in a bad spot in many situations.. no license, etc.

a few starting points, certainly there must be many more depending on scope.

I'm always on day 0 so I can't say for sure.

Are you looking for studies or a discussion?
